Jean Piaget

September 19th// What are some examples about each stage?

Sensorimotor stage- "infants construct an understanding of the world by coordinating sensory experiences with motor actions" (0-2 years)
--example: My son learnt how to feed himself with a spoon by watching my eat and fed him
Preoperational stage- "thoughts are more symbolic and intuitive" (3-7 years)
--example:  While I was working in a kindergarten class children drew pictures that were realistic. They also played pretend restaurant where they learnt how to behave and count money.
Formal/concrete Operational stage- "thinking is abstract, idealistic and logical" (11-15 years)
--example: A child  can recognize that a piece of toast cut into 4's is the same as a piece of toast can in half.
