As we get older our personalities are developed based on what we see, learn, and hear through our personal experiences. Also, Peoples in daily life experiences both behaviorally and cognitively, which they acknowledge and judge people based on their mannerism, the way they carry themselves, conduct themselves. If a person has good bearing and conducts themselves in a certain way, people will pick up on it and remember them for it, as well as judge the based on it. For example, if someone acts rude, gossipy, then judge them and perceive them a being childish. The behaviorally and cognitively also contributes to the term dealing with nature versus nurture debate.

According to about.com,” Early childhood is not only a period of amazing physical growth, it is also a time of remarkable mental development, where Cognitive abilities associated with memory, reasoning, problem-solving and thinking continues to emerge throughout childhood which was discovered by the work of psychologist Jean Piaget. Psychologist Jean Piaget was a profound psychology and educator who developed an interest in the intellectual development of children, which he observed children and found that they are not less intelligent than adults, they simply think differently. From his observations he developed cognitive frameworks for the Stages of Cognitive Development, which are The Sensorimotor Stage, The Preoperational Stage, The Concrete Operational Stage, and .The Formal Operational Stage. The Sensorimotor Stage is a period of time between birth and age two which an infant’s knowledge of the world is limited their sensory perceptions and motor activities. The Preoperational Stage is A period between ages two and six during which a child learns to use language, but does understand concrete logic, or can’t mentally manipulate information.
