GROWING MINDS: COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT IN EARLY CHILDHOOD
Davidson Films, Inc.
4 min - Aug 23, 2007
Nothing in human experience is quite so astonishing as the enormous changes that occur during the five short years that transform the newborn into the actively curious, exploring kindergartner. This video examines the work of Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget, illuminating the similarities and differences of their contributions to our understanding of the cognitive development of young children. Dr. David Elkind uses their research and his own work to look at three aspects of intellectual growth: reasoning, visual perception and the use of language. Children are seen both in interview situations and busily participating in an accredited child care center to illustrate Dr. Elkinds points about their ever changing intellectual abilities. (1996) 25 minutes $250. (this is a 4-minute sample clip from the film)
