“…Use of the Vygotskian model may also illuminate studies such as that of Cohen and Kim (1999), which proposed that moral development and humour may lag behind the development of other cognitive abilities. This may appear sensible if moral development and humour are viewed as conceptually advanced abilities requiring particularly rich language tools.…”

Much effort, on a philosophical and a research basis, has been applied to the subject of moral development framed within a constructivist, Piagetian stage-type format. These efforts have focused on the process of the individual's construction of a moral base and the individual's corresponding level of moral development. At this point in time, little research has been directed at analysing the sociocultural influences on morality construction, moral decision-making and moral development within the framework of a specific developmental theory. This research examined the processes involved in the resolution of a moral dilemma within a group setting, and evaluated the usefulness of a Vygotskian theoretical base in analysing these observations. This study provides initial evidence supporting the utility of a Vygotskian conceptual model. Additional research exploring the importance of the social aspects of moral processing, reasoning and development is needed.

“…Third, physicomorph and psychomorph schemes as well as assigned objects may change in time. [8] to a balancing, self-regulating process resulting from an individual's response to (even the simplest) environmental objects or events. Inconsistencies or conflicts in schemes or subsystems 2 would trigger structural changes by placing the individual in a state of imbalance (which Piaget calls "disequilibrium").…”

This paper focuses on the attributed nature of the voicebased agents Alexa and Google Assistant in conversational contexts. Using Piaget's equilibration theory, enhanced by Hubbard's concept of personhood the paper considers how people categorize voice-based agents along a thing-person spectrum and whether this categorization reflects assimilation or accommodation of these technologies. The results of two studies (a hypothetical conversation with the agent via an online-survey, N = 1288, and a real conversation with the agent, N = 105) are indicating a modified classification towards personified things, which is reinforced by younger age and a higher quality of interaction. Implications, limitations, and further research regarding a more detailed classification of conversational agents are discussed.

“…The metaphoric content in the above poem addresses issues that could potentially pertain to discriminatory practices of racism, oppression, gender bias, ageism, or heterosexism. Concurrently, from a gifted student perspective, the metaphors in the poem could relate to Cohen and Kim's (1999) finding that gifted adolescents and preadolescents possess the ability to anticipate-to see a preview of possibilities before having fully developed mechanisms to deal with them. The most important factor is that discrimination and issues such as these can impact cognitive and affective development.…”
