Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of moral "lessons" being slightly beyond children's cognitive levels refers to introducing children to new and challenging ideas that disrupt their current understanding of morality, leading to a state of disequilibrium. This can then motivate them to restructure their moral thought in order to achieve a new state of equilibrium, promoting advanced moral reasoning. This idea is closely tied to the concept of disequilibrium and equilibrium in Piaget's theory of cognitive development. It is not closely tied to social observational learning, dishabituation and habituation, or rewards and punishments in behaviorism.
