This paper examines two major approaches to cognitive development - behaviourist and constructivist. Main points and comparisons between the two are made and psychologists covering these approaches are briefly mentioned. The paper also includes an observation of a young child and personal examples are used to demonstrate whether the theory is in fact true to reality. A brief summary of how the approaches view language development is included.
