Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget's theory of cognitive development posits that cognitive development occurs in stage-like sequences that are universal. This means that all individuals go through the same stages in the same order, although the timing may vary. This is in contrast to the idea that development is haphazard (B) and based on experience alone. Piaget also emphasized the distinction between perception and sensation (C), and argued that they were separate processes. Lastly, Piaget did not believe that individual environments were the sole determinant of learning (D), but rather that cognitive development was a complex interplay between individual experience and innate cognitive structures.
