Answer to Question 1

Responses should include Piaget's dependency on language in his tests of
conservation and that children younger than 7 were often successful if the tests
were nonverbal. Over time, Piaget's theory has been shown to underestimate
children's conceptual ability though it remains that young children do not think
logically or operationally.

Answer to Question 2

In the Reggio Emilia early-childhood education program, every child is encouraged
to master skills that are characteristic skills of a child of about 7. Artistic expression,
exploration of the environment, and collaboration between parents and teachers are
supported. This implies an infusion of experiences and the use of adults as enablers
and teachers, with less focus on stages, such as those suggested by the Piagetians.
