    Study Notes

    Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development

    Sensori-Motor Stage

    • Occurs from birth to approximately 2 years old
    • Infants and young children learn and understand the world through sensory experiences and motor activities
    • Object permanence, the understanding that objects continue to exist even when out of sight, develops during this stage
    • Infants develop problem-solving skills through trial and error

    Pre-Operational Stage

    • Takes place from approximately 2 to 7 years old
    • Children begin to use symbols and language to represent the world
    • Egocentrism, the inability to take another's perspective, is a hallmark of this stage
    • Children's thinking is characterized by centration, the tendency to focus on one aspect of a situation and neglect other important features
