A modern theory of cognitive development is Siegler’s Overlapping Waves theory. According to this theory, development of cognitive capacity has which of the following as a principle:
Development is due to a change in the frequency at which the child uses different ways of thinking.
At any one time, the child has only one way of thinking.
The different waves of thinking occur at specific ages.
There are no transitions and no competition between ways of thinking, but the child moves from one wave of thinking to another.
