That statement is true.

Explanation:

Piaget divided the cognitive development into different age groups. This make many experts see that His theory is based on the assumption that the cognitive development among children is mostly influenced by genetic factors.

Researchers who criticized Piaget's work argued that children abilities can be heavily influenced by environmental factors too.
