Cognitive Development

Piaget

  • Formal Operational Thought: Logical reasoning about abstract ideas
  • Inductive Reasoning: reasoning from specific experiences to a general rule - “I enjoy watching Doogie Howser, ER, and House… so I must like medical dramas.”
  • Deductive Reasoning: reasoning from general rules to specific or new situations - “I enjoy medical dramas… so if I tried watching Grey’s Anatomy, I might like that too”

Limitations of Piaget

  • Even in adulthood, people continue to make a number of reasoning errors
  • “Bounded rationality”
  • What reasoning errors persist?
  • Framing effects
  • Hindsight bias
  • Confirmation bias
  • Errors in emotional prediction
  • Illusions of causality
  • Ignoring the law of large numbers
  • Self-serving bias
  • Uncle George’s pancakes fallacy
  • Fundamental Attribution Error
  • Domain specificity
