Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper discussing appropriate theories for mechanism of change. Piaget proposed adaptation and equilibration as two major mechanisms for cognitive change. Karmiloff-Smith proposed representational redescription, and others have proposed connectionist back-propagation as the mechanism. Still others have proposed a variety of learning mechanisms. From the beginning we were told that newborns were sponges, blank slates on which to write the lessons of life and who were, after reaching appropriate developmental age, eager to soak in as much information about their world as possible. It was only later that the theory of some form of innate knowledge, of collective memory, came about. This paper recommends Piaget's concepts as being of more use as mechanism for cognitive change. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
