He also was of the opinion that they take a very important part in process of learningby the process of making observations and also learning about the world. With their throughinteraction with the world, they continuously develop new knowledge, enhance their existingknowledge and also link with the previously held ideas for accommodation of new information(Barrouillet, 2015). The theory of cognitive development by Jean Piaget states that how the child constructstheir mental model in the world. He then diageed to the idea that the mental abilities like theintelligence is a fixed form of trait and are refarded as the development of the cognition as theprocess that can occur due to the biological form of maturation and the several interactions withthe domains of the environment (Bjorklund & Causey, 2017). The other for stages of that areneeded to be discussed in relation for the case study is the Preoperational stage that depicts thesecond stage of the cognitive theory of Piaget. The state begins around the age of 2 years and thelast until the age of 7 years. During this stage, the children begins to get themselves engaged inthe symbolic form of play and hence they learn to manipulate the essential symbols. However, ithas been noted by Piaget that they fail to understand the concrete form of logic. The pre operational stage minly occurs between the ages 2 to 7.

The children tend to develop the physicalactions such as crawling, walking and the other aspects of the languages that are gathered fromthe people who are surrounding them. This form of the development of the language has itsbeginning in the pre operational stages and lasts upto 7years of age. At this age they start to formthe capability to think in a symbolical manner. They also tend to connect the words as well as thepictures for the representation of the various objects.The number of important factors that can be identified that can impact the developmentof the speeches and the languages for the instant in the particular case study. It has been reportedby Jack’s mother who have reported that he only speaks once or twice and most of the times heis blabbering that means that he is trying his best for the communication with the people who aresuuroding him.
