The Three Ages' HUMAN
The individual, in its development, through three basic age groups: one in which prevails INTELLIGENCE psychomotor, which states that the form of egocentric thinking and the Finally, the form in which rational thought. Within these are the four psychological or mental structures, we already discussed in the previous post.
In the first of these levels, the sensory-motor, which goes from birth to eighteen months, which corresponds to the first age of man, the man who came out of the wildness, and is between the SIMPLE REFLECTIONS simple habit to get, as , to more complex behaviors, such as the coordination of perception and movement, the invention of the CONCEPT BY END-and the concept of constantly open.
In the second, ranging from two to six years and that corresponds to the Second Age 'of the Individual, you can not make a distinction between the self and the Reality' EXTERNAL, which is seen as the life blood PRIVATE (soul) and its own purposes (Finals) (Piaget, 1967: 34).
This level develops the imagination, language and perceptual abilities. The form of thought is egocentric, irreversible, and lacks the concept of conservation.
The third, ranging from seven to eleven years, exceeds the limitations of the previous stage. The thought becomes reversible and ordered, develop skills and acquire the practical logic of causation.
the fourth, ranging from twelve to sixteen years, we need not add anything to what I said.
These levels of mental structure, or psychological age, are not fixed in time. They are the ones that the individual has acquired in modern times.
In ages past, and until the sixteenth century, they were only up to the third level, and therefore the corresponding chronological age in the individual in the various levels was much higher than the one quoted above.
"Do not forget that what to Pythagoras and Archimedes to Galileo and Newton was the vanguard of progress, over the centuries has become a subject taught in schools, not even for gifted students" (Laeng, 1982: 385).
Only a few individuals of certain civilizations, as we shall see, they managed to reach the fourth level, but not completely.
The human mind needs time to develop. This time is not flexible, but rigid. Ontogenesis it can not be anticipated or postponed, unless it is deliberately pursuing this goal, some who are distorting the natural growth rate.
Every age has its mental development. This development is not exclusively linked to neurological factors, but will play a big role in the social transmission and the environment.
If these two factors is appropriate, chronological period of maturation levels in the individual may be shorter and "nothing prevents that, in a more or less distant future, the average age [of maturity levels] undergoes further reduction " ( Inhelder, 1958: 337 ).
Questo è ancora più vero se si tiene conto che le attuali capacità dell'organo cervello (neocorteccia) sono utilizzate solo per il due-tre per cento.
La transizione tra un livello e l'altro "avviene per mezzo di due processi: l'ORGANIZZAZIONE, che integra una struttura psicologica all'altra, e l'ADATTAMENTO, che modifica le strutture psicologiche in risposta all'ambiente...
“L'adattamento comprende l'ASSIMILAZIONE e l' ACCOMODAMENTO, due processi complementari che sono presenti in ogni atto cognitivo. L'individuo assimila ogni nuova esperienza a ciò che già conosce, e, nello stesso tempo, accomoda ciò che conosce a ricevere the new experience.
"The assimilation and adaptation are the same in all age groups ... many of our cognitive life changes occur slowly ... and it occurs in some people before others. Nevertheless, we reach some skill at a time more or less defined (though we have built very slowly), then we are still in that stage until we are ready to proceed to the next "(Ambron, 1978: 85).
