Describe the cultural critique of Piaget's theory of cognitive development. What is the issue? Be
specific. - Answer✔Piaget failed to realize that cultural and educational experiences were
enormous and important when it came to cognitive development. Piaget thought more as a
biologist and proposed that childrens thinking and thought pattern evolves as they mature in
age. He believed that children in the concrete operational stage should have been able to learn
scientifically. whereas, if children are not taught a certain thing they do not get to develop that
aspect of their thinking. Also, in some cultures children are taught different things and their
cognitive development is geared towards the area they are taught. Hence its possible that not
all children will be able to operate in same ways as piaget proposed that they develop in their
thinking as they mature.
