Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Piaget.s (1936) Theory of Cognitive Development explains how a child constructs a mental model of the world. To Piaget, cognitive development was a progressive reorganisation of mental processes as a result of biological maturation and environmental experience. Children construct an understanding of the world around them and then experience discrepancies between what they already know and what they discover in their environment.
