Answer preview
Piaget and Vygotsky are the major theorists who analyzed cognitive development in children. Their psychological analysis of children’s cognitive creativity has helped in determining the best learning styles for children in the education field. Cognitive creativity in children illustrates how their brain is developing, their physical behavior and communication abilities. Cognitive creativity is the ability of a child to intellectually think and understand information, make decisions, solve problems in an innovative or artistic manner. A child is able to use his/her imagination to view situations in different angles since the brain allows divergent thinking. (703words)
