Cognitive learning theories differ from strict behavioral ones by accounting for changes in mental processes such as thinking, memory, and problem-solving. While behavioral theories focus on observable behaviors, cognitive theories emphasize internal mental processes that impact learning and behavior. Cognitive theories also consider the role of beliefs, expectations, and perceptions in shaping behavior.

Ideal types are abstract models used to analyze and understand complex social phenomena, while perspectives refer to the broad theoretical frameworks that shape how researchers view the world. Theories, on the other hand, are specific explanations of observed patterns or phenomena within a particular framework. In summary, ideal types are analytical tools, perspectives are broader theoretical orientations, and theories are specific explanations within those orientations.
The psychometric theory of intelligence views intelligence as a single, general factor that underlies overall cognitive ability, while the theory of multiple intelligences posits that there are several distinct types of intelligence that are relatively independent of each other. These theories differ in their conceptualizations of intelligence as either unitary or diverse in nature.
Piaget's theory emphasizes stages of cognitive development and the role of individual exploration in constructing knowledge, while Bruner's theory focuses on the importance of cultural and social influences on cognitive development. Piaget believed in fixed stages of development, while Bruner emphasized the importance of scaffolding and the role of language in learning. Both theories agree on the active role of the learner in constructing knowledge but differ in their emphasis on individual versus social influences.
