Guest Speaker Report The other day we had a couple of professor barretts children come in to get a observation of a 5 year old and a 8 year olds developments in behavior and cognition skills. The first speaker was 5 year old Johnny Barrett. Automatically, you could tell that he was a bright child for his age. His imagination was typical of someone around his age but the most interesting observation was his passing of some of piaget's conservation tests. Now things can be gathered from this because he did fail some of those tests but in any case at his age its impressive. One, him being able to pass some of those tests suggest that cognition can develop more rapidly depending on the person. Two, his ability to explore the question and lead to a right answer is really interesting for someone his age but its not rare. Of course he failed some tests that most 5 year olds due but the other ones prove hes stronger in certain areas. For example, when professor Barrett told Johnny about piaget asking the girl about the wind. Johnny's reaction was really interesting because not only was it not true to him but he also knew the right answer. Comparing him to other 5 year olds according to piaget hes ahead of the curve in certain areas. The next speaker was 8 year old Katie Barrett. Now common sense tells you shes going to be at higher skill than Johnny because of her age. She seems to have a plan of watch she wants to be in the future. I found it interesting that she seems to think about her future and her career and has a plan to further it. She has an imagination which also normal for a 8 year old. Shes very shy but seems very bright. She passed all of the tests but still paused a little bit at the penny test. Comparing her to other 8 year olds it seems to me shes right on track with her development. Her cognition skills are normal and shes seems like and normal but very bright 8 year old. I think this is protected by barretts law science is science.
