Growing Minds. Cognitive Development in Early Childhood
Description
Nothing in human experience is quite so astonishing as the enormous changes that occur during the five short years that transform a newborn into an actively curious, exploring kindergartner. Filmed in 1996, this program examines the work of Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget, illuminating the similarities of and differences between their contributions to a greater understanding of the cognitive development of young children. Narrator David Elkind uses their research and his own work to look at three aspects of intellectual growth: reasoning, visual perception, and language use. Children are seen both in interview situations and busily participating in an accredited child care center to illustrate Dr. Elkind's points about their ever-changing intellectual abilities.
