1.3.2 Piaget’s Stage Theory and Development of Intelligence

• Order the stages of Piaget's Stage Theory by age range:

  1️⃣ Sensorimotor (Birth to 2 years)

  2️⃣ Preoperational (2 to 7 years)

  3️⃣ Concrete Operational (7 to 11 years)

  4️⃣ Formal Operational (11 years to adulthood)
• What is object permanence in the Sensorimotor stage?

  Understanding objects exist out of sight
• What is a key characteristic of thinking in the Preoperational stage?

  Egocentric thinking
• Match the cognitive characteristics with the correct stage of Piaget's Theory:

  Concrete Operational ↔️ Logical thinking about concrete events

  Formal Operational ↔️ Abstract and hypothetical reasoning
• In the Formal Operational stage, children can understand abstract concepts such as justice and morality.


  True
• Order the stages of Piaget's theory of cognitive development from youngest to oldest.

  1️⃣ Sensorimotor

  2️⃣ Preoperational

  3️⃣ Concrete Operational

  4️⃣ Formal Operational
• In the Concrete Operational stage, children struggle with abstract concepts.
• Preoperational children lack the understanding of conservation.
• Children in the Concrete Operational stage can think logically about concrete events.


  True
• What is the key difference in conservation understanding between the Preoperational and Concrete Operational stages?

  Preoperational lacks understanding
• Individuals in the Formal Operational stage can think abstractly and hypothetically.
• Individuals in the Formal Operational stage can think abstractly and hypothetically
• Piaget's Stage Theory describes how an individual's way of thinking
• In the Sensorimotor stage, infants rely on their senses and motor skills to understand the world
• Infants in the Sensorimotor stage develop intentional actions and basic problem-solving skills
• Children in the Preoperational stage can mentally reverse actions

  False
• The Formal Operational stage is characterized by the ability to think abstractly
• Planning long-term goals is an example of Formal Operational thinking
• Children in the Preoperational stage can think logically about concrete events.

  False
• Match the concept with its description in the Sensorimotor stage.

  Object permanence ↔️ Understanding objects exist even when out of sight

  Trial-and-error ↔️ Learning through exploration
• Children in the Preoperational stage are capable of conservation and reversibility.

  False
• What is the age range of the Concrete Operational stage?

  7 to 11 years
• In the Concrete Operational stage, children develop the ability to mentally undo actions.
• The Formal Operational stage begins around age 11 and extends into adulthood.

  True
• Comprehension of justice, morality, and identity is a key characteristic of the Formal Operational stage.


  True
• In the Formal Operational stage, individuals can systematically solve abstract problems
• What is an example of planning long-term goals using Formal Operational thinking?

  Applying mathematical concepts
• Order the stages of Piaget's cognitive development theory by age range:

  1️⃣ Sensorimotor (Birth to 2 years)

  2️⃣ Preoperational (2 to 7 years)

  3️⃣ Concrete Operational (7 to 11 years)

  4️⃣ Formal Operational (11 years to adulthood)
• Piaget's stages may not apply consistently across different cultures.

  True
• Infants as young as 6 months can find hidden objects, indicating object permanence earlier than Piaget's timeline.


  True
• Piaget's stages represent qualitative changes in thinking as individuals develop


  True
• Infants in the Sensorimotor stage can use abstract thought and logical reasoning

  False

  11 years to adulthood
• What type of thinking is characteristic of the Concrete Operational stage?

  Limited to concrete events
• What do infants use to understand the world in the Sensorimotor stage?

  Senses and motor abilities
• What type of reasoning do individuals use in the Formal Operational stage?

  Abstract and logical
• What type of mental representation do children use in the Preoperational stage?
