Piaget's cognitive development theory posits that children develop new cognitive abilities through the processes of assimilation and accommodation. Symbolic play involves the use of objects or actions to represent something else. Piaget believed that symbolic play reflects children's increasing ability to use symbols and to think abstractly. Critics argue that Piaget's theory may be too focussed on the individual child and does not acknowledge environmental factors that may impact development.
