| Discontinuity - Psychology Dictionary of Arguments | |||
| Discontinuity: Discontinuity in psychology means that development occurs in distinct stages with qualitative shifts, rather than as a continuous, gradual process. This approach, often associated with stage theories like Piaget's cognitive development, suggests that individuals progress through identifiable, non-overlapping phases in their psychological growth. See also Continuity, Stages of development._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
