The Construction of Reality in the Child
"The Construction of Reality in the Child" refers to how children develop their understanding of the world around them. As they grow, they actively interpret experiences, gradually building mental models of concepts like space, time, and social roles. This process is influenced by their interactions, environment, and cognitive development. Essentially, children don’t just copy what they see; they organize and make sense of their experiences to create their own perception of reality, which becomes more accurate and complex over time through active learning and development.
