Some cognitive abilities emerge earlier and some later than Piaget thought.

Explanation:

It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget for development research. The theory of cognitive development generally regarded as the most comprehensive is his. Although certain aspects of Piaget's theory have been questioned and in some cases refuted (such as the fact that some cognitive abilities emerge earlier and others later than Piaget thought), their influence is immense. Indeed, the contribution of his theory, like that of others, is shown more by its influence on later theories and research than by its maximum accuracy.
