How do humans develop concepts?

 

 

Through this project we want to develop a concrete theory in how children of various age groups as stated in Piaget theory i.e. (Sensor motor stage, Preoperational stage & Concrete operational stage) develops concepts and effect of Instant learning. However, it was quite plain to Piaget that not all children may pass through the stages at the exactly the same age. Also we acknowledge that children could show at a given time the characteristics of more than one of the stages above.

 

Our objective to testify using set of behavioral experiments the three fundamental aspects of concept development:

·        Concepts as mental representations, i.e. entities that exist in the brain;

·        Concepts as abilities, peculiar to cognitive agents;

·        Concepts as abstract objects, where these objects are the constituents of propositions that immediate between thought, language, and referents.

 

Finally we aim to evaluate, Transitivity, Perspective & Moral concepts among various age groups and effect of instant learning in the process.
