Home›Learning Theory and Concepts›Topic Group›Cognitive and Developmental Psychology ConceptsGroupCognitive and Developmental Psychology ConceptsA 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).FactsCognitive and Developmental Psychology ConceptsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1919 1Cognitive and Developmental Psychology ConceptsFilter Results36 entriesDeveloped ByAllDavid A.
