Editing

There were a few gramatical errors that I fixed but over all this article was well writen. Hr168407 (talk) 15:44, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Improper Redirect

"Common-sense metaphysics" currently redirects here, it should actually be redirected to "Scottish School of Common Sense"; the philosophical idea of common sense has nothing to do with infant cognition, it has everything to do with Thomas Reid (and others in that school).

can this be changed? RCNARANJA 17:05, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Motricity is mentioned...

A definition of the word motricity would be nice. The word is under the paragraph titled Piaget. "According to Jean Piaget's theory of development, the first stage of Cognitive development, (the Sensorimotor Stage) when the infant is 0–4 years old, is where an infant or child will use perception and motricity to identify the objects." Further clarification is necessary for a better understanding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.83.15.2 (talk) 01:48, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Overall Evaluation of topic

This is just a section I am starting to evaluate this topic as a whole. I feel this topic can be improved. Starting mainly with the section "Piaget." This could be expanded upon with possible examples of research that have been done. I feel this page as a wholw needs more information about it's topics. While there is information about all the key elements, they are only briefly described, even though there is much more information about them.and I will be doing my part to make these improvements the best I can.

Possible edits

I'm looking at adding to this Wikipedia page. I have written sections on the development of empathy and theory of mind, adding explanation to the Piaget section and added a section on cultural differences in development. Can I get this checked over before I publish? Sylveon2603 (talk) 16:49, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi Sylveon2603, I have looked around on your page but I cannot see which edits specifically you would like to make. However, if your edits are well-written and based on reliable sources, I would advise you to be bold and simply make one edit and see how it goes. Worst case scenario, you'll be reverted. In that case, try to learn from it. If all goes well, continue to edit. Happy editing! Lova Falk (talk) 14:11, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you @Lova Falk! I added my edits a little while ago and they haven't been reverted, just edited here and there for clean up. Hopefully it adds to the page well. Sylveon2603 (talk) 16:39, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
