  • Piaget explained that children's minds are different from adults, approaching problem-solving on a different level
  • Piaget began studying the development of mental structure, with differences between children being attributed to different kinds of knowledge

Jean Piaget

  • Swiss developmental psychologist and philosopher known for epistemological studies with children
  • He had the theory of cognitive development and epistemological view, together called "genetic epistemology"

Sensory Motor Stage

  • Lasts from birth until the age of 2 years
  • Infants build an understanding of the world by coordinating sensory experiences (seeing, hearing) with physical motor actions (sensory motor)
  • Newborns start with little more than a reflex pattern

Pre-operational stage

  • Lasts roughly from age 2 to 7 years
  • Children begin to describe the world with words and pictures, using symbolic thinking beyond sensor information and physical action
  • Preschoolers can symbolically depict the world but cannot implement operations, which involves doing something mentally that previously happened physically

Concrete Operational Stage

  • Lasts roughly from ages 7-11 years
  • Children can carry out operations,
  • Logical reasoning replaces intuitive thought on specific examples or concrete
  • Concrete operational thinking cannot, for example, imagine the steps needed to solve an algebra problem because it is too vague

Formal Operational Stage

  • Appears from ages 11-15
  • Individuals think beyond the real world/concrete experiences and in abstract and more logical terms
  • Adolescents develop a picture of an ideal state and compare their parents with ideal standards
  • Began to prepare for future possibilities
  • Formal operational thinkers solve problems more systematically, develop hypotheses about why things happen and test them with deductive reasoning

Social Relationships

  • Social relationships do affect or influence individual thinking
