Piaget theory explains how a being construct the world’s information into his/her mind. A kid would save a little information at first, for example, trees are big and green. Latter, more information like tree names, their height difference, and their leaves color schemes in different weather, etc. would be saved to same tree set. Jean Piaget disagreed to the idea of fixed trait intelligence and proceeded to state that cognitive development is a process. More of theory of Piaget in detail in lecture handout.
