Explain how a school psychologist may apply knowledge of variant development

Answers

As children grow their experiences broaden so they will be able to handle increasingly difficult operations. Therefore older children are able to handle more complex operations. The broadening of the different mental processes occurs through learning as we interact with our environment. A school psychologist should know that intelligence is all about making appropriate adaptations to things around our environment quickly and efficiently. The adaptation involves taking in, processing, and using the new information in an appropriate way. For this to occur, it requires that we take in the main elements of a situation called assimilation and modifying schemas through a process called accommodation. To adapt our thinking to things we want to do in a specific way children must organize their experiences.
