His particular insight was the role of maturation (simply growing up) in children’s increasing capacity to understand their world; they cannot undertake certain tasks until they are psychologically mature enough to do so. His research has spawned a big deal more, much of which has undermined the detail of his own, but like many other original investigators, his importance comes from his overall vision.

He proposed that children’s thinking does not develop entirely smoothly instead, there are certain points at which it “takes off” and moves into completely new areas and capabilities. He saw these transitions as taking place at about 18months, 7 year and 11 or 12 years. This has been taken to mean that before these ages children are not capable (no matter how bright) of understanding things in certain ways, and has been used as the basis for scheduling the school curriculum.
