COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
IN ADOLESCENCE
Lesson 3 - Personal Development
COGNITIVE
DEVELOPMENT
Cognitive development refers to
the progression of one’s ability to
think and reason out. Most of the
ideas about cognitive
development in adolescence
were extracted from the work of
the Swiss biologist and
psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-
1980).
JEAN PIAGET
Piaget was a Swiss psychologist who was the
first to make a systematic study of the
acquisition of understanding in children. He is
thought by many to have been the major
figure in 20th-century
developmental psychology. He identified four
stages of mental development that chronicled
young people's journeys from basic object

During this period, the
adolescent makes use of
more complex thinking in
personal decision making
within his/her immediate
environment, home and
school.
MIDDLE
ADOLESCENCE
(15-17 YEARS
OLD)

This stage marks the use by

concerns.
LATE ADOLESCENCE

(18-21 YEARS
OLD)

During this stage, the


adolescent makes use of

COGNITIVE ABILITIES
• Women are adept in the use
of language or verbal ability
• Men excel in mentally
manipulating the objects that

• Women tend to score higher
on measures of empathy and

• Men are often
overrepresented at the higher
