Children do not think the way adults do. For most of the first year oflife, if something is out of sight, it’s out of mind. If you cover a baby’s36 toy with a piece of cloth, the baby thinks the toy has disappeared andstops looking for it. A 4-year-old may 37 that a sister has more fruitjuice when it is only the shapes of the glasses that differ, not the 38of juice.
Yet children are smart in their own way. Like good little scientists,children are always testing their child-sized 39 about how things work,When your child throws her spoon on the floor for the sixth time as you try tofeed her, and you say, “that’s enough! I will not pick up your spoon again!” thechild will 40 test your claim, Are you serious? Are you angry? What willhappen if she throws the spoon again? She is not doing this to drive you41 ; rather, she is learning that her desires and yours can differ, and thatsometimes those 42 are important and sometimes they are not.
How and why does children’s thinking change? In the 1920s, Swisspsychologist Jean Piaget proposed that children’s cognitive (认知的) abilitiesunfold 43 , like the blooming of a flower, almost independent of whatelse is 44 in their lives. Although many of his specific conclusions havebeen 45 or modified over the years, his ideas inspired thousands ofstudies by investigators all over the world.
