Piaget’s theory and information-processing approaches have quite a lot in common. Both attempt to specify children’s abilities and limitations as development proceeds, and both try to explain how new levels of understanding develop from earlier, less advanced ones.

However, they differ in several important ways. Information-processing approaches place great importance in limiting children’s thinking at any point in time, and the strategies for helping to overcome these limitations . Piaget’s theory does not discuss processing limitations, but rather discusses developmental changes , such as concrete operations and for

Another important difference is that information-processing accounts see development as unfolding in a continuous fashion, rather than in qualitatively different stages as Piaget suggested.
