Cognitive and Developmental Psychology Concepts

A concept, theory or model from cognitive and developmental psychology describing how a person's mental abilities, thinking style or intelligence emerge and change, including formal theories of intelligence and cognitive structure (the Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory, the triarchic and multiple intelligences theories, the PASS theory), developmental-stage accounts (Piaget's stages of cognitive development and the Three Mountain Problem that tested them), and named psychological phenomena affecting learning and thinking (cognitive style, learning styles, the Mozart effect, neuroconstructivism, multipotentiality). This group gathers the atlas's foundational cognitive-science and developmental-psychology material, distinguished from Language Acquisition Theories (which addresses language specifically) and from Skill Acquisition Models (which addresses the stages of acquiring a practical skill rather than general cognitive development).

Quote, Piaget's theory of cognitive development, introduction
In 1919, while working at the Alfred Binet Laboratory School in Paris, Piaget "was intrigued by the fact that children of different ages made different kinds of mistakes while solving problems". His experience and observations at the Alfred Binet Laboratory were the beginnings of his theory of cognitive development.
