Cognitive Development
- Refers to the study of how thinking skills develop over time, particularly in children.
- Proposed by Jean Piaget, who identified four stages:
- Sensorimotor stage (0–2 years)
- Preoperational stage (2–7 years)
- Concrete operational stage (7–11 years)
- Formal operational stage (12+ years)
The correct answer to the question: "The field of study concerned with the construction of thought processes, including remembering, problem solving, and decision-making is called___________?" is "Cognitive Development".

Answer is not cognitive development, the answer is cognitive domain. Because there’s difference between cognitive domain and cognitive development. Cognitive development has 4 stages for child development and cognitive domain has 6 stages of learning for child development. Cognitive domain depends on thinking skills and intellectual process while cognitive development depends on 4 stages of child. Sensorimotor stage, pre operational, concrete operational and formal operational stage.
The question asks about a field of study related to processes like remembering, problem-solving, and decision-making, which aligns more closely with Cognitive Development. The Cognitive Domain is a subset of Bloom’s Taxonomy and focuses specifically on the categorization of learning outcomes, not the broader field of study.
