Abstract
Abstract Neo-Piagetian theories of cognitive development emerged as attempts to preserve core theoretical and empirically supported aspects of Jean Piaget's seminal theory of intellectual development while addressing criticisms leveled against the theory. Neo-Piagetian theories preserve three basic ideas from Piaget's theory: (1) the unit of cognitive analysis is the scheme or psychological structure; (2) psychological structures undergo qualitative transformation over time; and (3) higher order structures develop through the differentiation and coordination of lower level structures. After a brief discussion of similarities and differences among prominent neo-Piagetian theories, one representative approach (dynamic skill theory) is discussed in depth. The discussion concludes with a description of recent advances in neo-Piagetian systems theory.
