Piaget seemed to pave the way for modern day psychology and how to incorporate children's thinking/learning processes. Allowing this new theory into the field has changed how studies have been conducted when using children as the subject.
The step by step learning process by children that Piaget proposed disproved the blank slate theory where children are not completely copying the environment around them. He proposed that children are "built" to learn and not forced to learn on their environment.
This may also have partially played into the development theory of genetics...meaning a child is pre-disposed or pre-determined to an outcome no matter their environment. Piaget is significant in the developmental progressions that has allowed us to come so far in the modern psychology field.
