Researchers like Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, and Lawrence Kohlberg have studied various aspects of child development, focusing on cognitive, social, and moral aspects. Piaget's stages of cognitive development, Erikson's psychosocial stages, and Kohlberg's levels of moral reasoning provide insights into how children grow and learn. Language development, as studied by Lev Vygotsky and Steven Pinker, also plays a crucial role in a child's overall development.
