research into cognitive development‚ and as a result the theory behind it has changed and developed very rapidly over a relatively short period of time. This paper will look at arguably one of the most influential theories of cognitive development- Jean Piaget. We will examine the fundamentals of Piaget’s theory and discuss the limitations of his model; we will ask if the more contemporary models provided by both Vygotsky and Bruner have provided any solutions to those limitations‚ and how all of this
