The studies of Jean Piaget about the development of intelligence in the child still remain fundamental in the field. Along with the theoretical basis of “constructivism”, Piaget elaborated a technique of research able to define experimentally the cognitive conducts specific to each evolutionary stage of the child. Conversely, the subsequent modular model has substantially modified both the object of observation and the methodology used to detect children’s capabilities. In this model, such capabilities are considered genetically programmed and must therefore be observed in the most precocious phases of the child’s development and with specific procedures that should stimulate spontaneous reactions to each stimulus.

Abstract
The studies of Jean Piaget about the development of intelligence in the child still remain fundamental in the field. Along with the theoretical basis of “constructivism”, Piaget elaborated a technique of research able to define experimentally the cognitive conducts specific to each evolutionary stage of the child. Conversely, the subsequent modular model has substantially modified both the object of observation and the methodology used to detect children’s capabilities. In this model, such capabilities are considered genetically programmed and must therefore be observed in the most precocious phases of the child’s development and with specific procedures that should stimulate spontaneous reactions to each stimulus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
