Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent research has indeed questioned some of Piaget's theories, such as object permanence, as well as provided new insights into how children develop cognitively, emotionally, and socially. However, the controversy of the influences of nature and nurture is still ongoing, and Freud's psychosexual theories have not been conclusively authenticated by recent research. Finally, Piaget's theories continue to influence contemporary views of child development.
