Which article are you evaluating?
Cognitive development - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen to evaluate this article because I am minoring in Human Development and one key aspect of it in cognitive development. This topic I have studied and know some stuff about. It is a topic that interests me deeply and I would love to help others learn more about it.

Evaluate the article
This article does a strong job at covering the basics of Cognitive Development. The chart used to reference each contributing theorist is a great visual. The article should move the history of Piaget into the Historical Origins area instead of in the beginning 2nd paragraph. There is a lot of dedication to Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development, which there is already a separate article on. To better improve this I wouldn't go into as much detail on one specific theory here while other theories mention later in the article are left quite bare and not much information. I also believe there needs to be more references for some of the statements made. Although it may be common knowledge to someone writing about this topic, most would not know where this information comes from and whether it is valid or not. The Neuroscience section seems a little misfit and could be expanded upon. Overall, I think the article is just a little underdeveloped and could use some more information and slight changes.Kvigil7 (talk) 01:24, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
