Piaget(1896-1980)
4 development stages
- Sensorimotor stage
- Preoperational stage
- Concrete operations
- Formal operations
# Sensorimotor stage ( birth 2 years old)
- The child , through physical interaction with his or her environment, builds a set of concepts about reality and how it works.
- A child does not know that physical objects remain in existence even when out of sight.
# Preoperational stage ( ages 2 - 7 )
- The child is not yet able to conceptualize abstractly and need concrete physical situations.
# Concrete operatios ( ages 7 - 11 )
- As physical experience accumulates, the child starts to conceptualize, creating logical structures that explain his/her physical experiences.
- Abstract problem solving is possible at this stage.
- Example: Arithmetic equations can be solved with numbers.
# Formal operations ( ages 11 - 15 )
- The child's cognitive structures are like those of an adult and include conceptual reasoning.
