[ 6 ] For example, Piaget's theory notes that the humans transition into the concrete operation stage of cognitive development when they acquire the ability to take perspective, and no longer ...
Research in developmental psychology has some limitations but at the moment researchers are working to understand how transitioning through stages of life and biological factors may impact our behaviors and development. [5] Developmental psychology involves a range of fields, [2] such as educational psychology, child psychopathology, forensic ...
