will be discussed in this particular section are the Theory of Cognitive Development and Multiple Intelligences Theory.
Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development
One theory is the Cognitive Development Theory. This theory was developed by Jean Piaget, and it lays emphasis on predictable cognitive stages. In particular, Piaget asserted that cognition was dissimilar in the course of every stage of development. This theory includes four stages, which include the sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete, and formal operations stages. To begin with, the sensorimotor stage occurs between birth and two years of age and in this phase the child utilizes all his or her senses to discover and… Continue Reading...
debate about how to measure cognitive ability, such as whether it is a general attribute or whether multiple intelligences exist. However, skill-based tests that specifically test job skills, such as using a computer or knowledge about the subject area the candidate should know, would likely not be able to be opposed in a court of law, so long as needed job skills were being assessed.
Integrity testing is likewise controversial. These tests “have been validated against very different criteria—theft, faking credentials, ‘counter-productive’ behavior, etc.—and they do tend to produce rather different results. Working on company time or taking long lunch breaks is called ‘time theft,’” (Furnham, 2015,… Continue Reading...
malleable. I believe that access to intelligence building resources and tools and multiple intelligences also plays into the concept of learning and intelligence.

Self-regulated learning refers to the integration of multiple metacognitive processes, including the assimilation of background information or knowledge, metacognitive regulatory systems, the use of strategy in learning, motivation and even epistemological beliefs (Sperling, Howard, Staley & DuBois, 2004). Therefore, self-regulated learning is a complex phenomenon, helping to explain why human ethical behaviors are rarely cut and dry. Self-regulation does help with learning outcomes because of related issues too, like locus of control, identity,… Continue Reading...
