We have a different perspective as adults than we had as children. psychologist Jean Piaget began one of the most sophisticated early studies of childhood perspectives and how they develop into adult perspectives. Contrary to the shiver many scientists will feel as they read this sentence, this research which later spawned the field of developmental psychology is actually a scientific investigation of the classical field in philosophy known as metaphysics. Join me in this 30 minute segment where I will explain the first 5+1 ‘simple’ stages of cognitive development studied by Piaget and his con ..read more

Children are primarily experiencing the world “hypnotically”, an experience correlate to delta- and theta-brainwave frequencies. ‘From the child’s perspective, the mom’s punishment came out of nowhere. He is wandering through the world and during this dreamlike wandering, something begins to hurt him.’ Is it best to incentivize good behavior, punish bad behavior, or can we implement a values-focused approach that circumvents this dilemma altogether ..read more

Aristotle once wrote, “I have gained this by philosophy: that I do without being commanded that which others do only from fear of the law.” Important to note is: Kohlberg never summed up his research in a diagram. In terms of the first three stages in particular, various interpretations exist of his research. I believe that the views expressed here are the best interpretation utilizing correlative developmental psychology research and moral philosophy for clarification. “THE DEVELOPMENTAL SPECTRUM AND PSYCHOPATHOLOGY...” by Ken Wilber http://www.atpweb.org/jtparchive/trps-16-84-01-075.pdf ..read more

In this episode, I discuss the 6 ‘vertical’ styles of learning which bear on childhood education. The 6 vertical styles are also stages, as the vertical stages are universal to human beings and develop in a pattern of increasing complexity. The vertical styles are distinct from ‘horizontal’ learning style models like multiple intelligence theory and personality typing theory, which are not discussed in this episode. Vertical learning styles has been a key subject of psychological research for some time from Pavlov to Piaget. Join us, subscribe, and continue the discussion in the comments ..read more
