The first researcher to show that the thought processes of adults and children are very different was Jean Piaget.

According Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development (1936) there are important differences between the thinking of adults and children and there are different stages of mental development. C hildren are born with a very basic mental structure which is genetically inherited and evolved. On this basic structure all subsequent learning and knowledge are based.
