Question 7 4 / 4 pts
Short essay questions should be answered in full sentences.
Describe the cultural critique of Piaget’s theory of cognitive
development. What is the issue? Be specific.
Your Answer:
Piaget failed to realize that cultural and educational experiences
were enormous and important when it came to cognitive
development. Piaget thought more as a biologist and proposed
that childrens thinking and thought pattern evolves as they
mature in age. He believed that children in the concrete
operational stage should have been able to learn scientifically.
whereas, if children are not taught a certain thing they do not
get to develop that aspect of their thinking. Also, in some
cultures children are taught different things and their cognitive
development is geared towards the area they are taught. Hence
its possible that not all children will be able to operate in same
ways as piaget proposed that they develop in their thinking as
they mature.

play, indulge in physical activities, they would be able to burn
out excess calories and stay healthy. More physical activities
should be introduced like getting enrolled in sporting activities,
taking long walks and having recreational play would help the
children keep in good and healthy shape.
