The answer is cognitive-developmental.

Explanation:

This approach recognises that people develop cognitive processes over different stages in their lives. This includes the construction of memory, reasoning and language.

Cognitive-developmental theories imply that children learn in a different way according to their age, and the same applies for adolescents and adults.
