Unit Two
Cognitive and Moral Development
Create a slide presentation or powerpoint. Title it Piaget and then your last name. For example, mine would be PiagetDilts. On your first slide, provide some biographical information on Piaget (dates lived, place of birth, childhood education and academic pursuits).
On the second slide, describe his formal, university education and then on the 3rd slide, describe the process by which Piaget became interested in the way children think.
A little vocabulary
- schema
- assimilation
- accommodation
- object permanence
- representational thought
- conservation
More slides
The first one should be an overview of Piaget's 4 Stages of Cognitive Development.
Each of the next 4 slides needs to be an in-depth explanation of each stage.

Do the same thing for the Harlow monkey experiment. This is a good video to supplement your research. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O60TYAIgC4&nohtml5=False
As a note, feel free to use Wikipedia as a jumping-off point or a place to get some background info, but avoid using it as a definitive authority on any subject. Why? Because this is why.
