Task 6



In this imagen Jean Peaget works with a child. During his carrer he worked with many including his sons.

In my opinion Jean Piaget was the best on psychology field because he makes theories about the early intellectual development. I think he is the best in this area, because he was interested in showing the necesary process to learn. At the age of 10 years, his first article was published. And at his 14 he has the chance to work in a museum. His early development, motivated him to study the cognitive development.
In his theories he talks about certain schemes that let explain the world to persons.
These schames are combined in different patrons of behave.
He thinks that the cognitive develpoment can be divided in four stages. The correct cognitive development needs that the child overcomes these four stages.
These four stages are:
Sensory-motive (age 0-2) The child uses the basic schemes.
Operational (age 2-7) The child acquires the aptitude to represent in his mind objects that are not physically.
Pre-concrete (age 7-11) To realize mental operations with the presence of the object of the one that is reasoned.
Formal operations (age 11) The thought becomes abstract.

Task 5

I´m studyng this carrer because I would like to understand the human mind and especially the reason of why people behave of determined way.
The professionals of psychology help people. If the people are happy, the society it´s fine. A
psychologist can helps not only a few people, he works with children or adults.
A psychologist needs to develop his capacity to conect with the other, also the patience to listen to the other, to sum up he needs to develop his empathy.
My favourite subject of my carrer is antropology because it makes me think in the interaction between persons and their enviroment.
In the future I would like to work as many people as possible, and try to help them or be a help.
I think if someone is in trouble his greatful to have someone to talk, to share your problems and if you wan, to be helped.
Many of suicides are a product of people who aren´t listened or they can not find their own sence of life. With a psychologist's helps I think that many of those persons could be save and improve their lifes.
