How cognitive development Effects Learning

Cognitive development plays a huge role in learning. If the child does not develop cognitively he or she might face problems in learning. When learning, thinking is important. “Piglet’s theory of development represents constructivism, a view of cognitive development as a process in which children actively build systems of meaning and understanding of reality through experiences and interactions”(Salvin,2000). If the constructivism is not developed the children may not understand how to build an understanding while they experience. They learn new things by doing this. If the child does not develop cognitively the child will not learn anything they would face many problems when they try to learn.
