How Much Is Your Worldview Influenced by Piaget's Theories?
Piaget believed that children basically entered the world with sets of reflexes at hand. But we know a lot more about the underlying biological substructure of the brain than Piaget was formulating his theories. I don't think that the child who's constructing his or her world is constructing it within axiomatic games whose rules are already set to some degree. And one of those would be hunger, for example, inbuilt value structures like hunger or thirst or temperature discomfort or pain. Those aren't constructed. Now those loose, you could call those them low resolution categories like things to potentially eat.
