• The sensorimotor period (birth to age 2) involves learning about objects through sensory experiences and motor actions.
• During this time, infants begin to understand cause-and-effect relationships and can anticipate events.
• Piaget's theory is based on the idea that children develop through stages, with each stage building upon the previous one.
• Piaget's theory suggests that children develop cognitive abilities by actively exploring their environment and interacting with it.
• Preoperational stage (ages 2-7): Children begin to use symbols, such as words or drawings, but still have difficulty understanding the perspectives of others.
• Children progress from simple reflexes at birth to more complex thought processes as they grow older.
• Concrete operational stage (ages 7-11): Children can perform mental operations on concrete information, but struggle with abstract concepts.
• Children progress from concrete operational thinking to formal operations as they gain more experience and knowledge.
• Formal operational stage (ages 11+): Adolescents are able to think logically and systematically about complex problems.
• Sensorimotor stage is the first stage of Piaget's theory, lasting from birth to around two years old.
• Formal operations involve abstract reasoning and problem solving without relying solely on personal experience or observation.
• Concrete operational thinking refers to the ability to think logically about real-world situations using concrete examples.
• Children progress from concrete operational thinking to formal operational thinking as they mature.
• Concrete operations involve understanding physical concepts and manipulating tangible objects.
• Concrete operational stage (ages 7-11): Children become more logical and are able to think abstractly about concrete concepts.
• Formal operations involve abstract reasoning and logical thought processes.
• Formal operational stage (ages 11+): Teenagers and adults are capable of thinking logically about abstract concepts and hypothetical situations.
• Formal operational stage (ages 11+): Teenagers are able to think logically about hypothetical situations and consider multiple possibilities.
• Concrete operational stage (ages 7-11): Children become better able to think logically and solve problems using concrete examples.
• Criticisms of Piaget's theory include its lack of empirical evidence and cultural bias.
• The sensorimotor stage is characterized by an infant's ability to explore objects using all five senses and motor skills.
• Formal operational stage (ages 11+): Teenagers are capable of abstract thinking and reasoning, allowing them to consider hypothetical situations and make predictions.
