Jean PiagetJean Piaget was a cognitive development theorist and was very influential in the Human Development field. Piaget mostly studied how children think and process thoughts. He believed that adaptation was also happening within humans, so a human's mind must organize what is going on around them in ways they can understand. This theory revolves around schema, which is the concept of which a human's brain organizes past experiences, concepts, and associations into categories to allow us to react to different situations in different ways.
