development. What is the issue? Be specific.

thought more as a biologist and proposed that childrens thinking and
thought pattern evolves as they mature in age. He believed that children in

that aspect of their thinking. Also, in some cultures children are taught

they are taught. Hence its possible that not all children will be able to
