Infant Development: The Rational Constructivist Approach
Infant development is a journey of rapid growth and discovery. The Rational Constructivist Theory explains how infants learn by combining rationalist and constructivist ideas. According to this theory, infants are not passive learners but actively construct knowledge by interacting with their environment and reasoning through their experiences.
For example, when a baby repeatedly drops a toy, they aren't just playing—they're testing their understanding of gravity. Through such interactions, they build a basic understanding of the world and learn to predict outcomes.
Experience plays a key role in shaping an infant’s knowledge. As they encounter new situations, they refine their mental models and grow their understanding.
By recognizing that infants are active learners, parents can better support their development by providing stimulating environments for exploration, helping them build a strong foundation for future learning.
