Week 2 post 1

When reading through out our text the one main thing that stuck out to me was the cognitive equilibrium process. The cognitive equilibrium process is the mental state of which one is not confused because they use existing thought processes to learn new experiences (Berger p. 46). This theory points out the process of how we as individuals go through the developmental process and learn new things in different stages of life. Like when we are born we do not have motor skills or speech but they are learned over time by observation and teaching to get us to that stage. Also traits of learning things faster than one another or understanding concepts better over time can be genetic and influenced by our parents childrearing skills. One individual may take a longer period of time to understand concepts or information such as studying for specific subject. For me science was always harder for me to understand and took longer for me to process the information. In high school when I took chemistry others in my class understood how to do the formulas faster than me since there mind and cognitive equilibrium process happened easier since they had more skills and understanding in that subject.
