Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget believed that cognitive development is primarily driven by a child's own experiences, interactions, and exploration of the world around them. While some level of instruction and guidance from caregivers can be beneficial, Piaget would likely argue that an hour a day of structured instruction would have a minimal impact on the child's overall cognitive development. Therefore, the child's cognitive development would progress similarly to noninstructed peers.
