Study Notes
Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development
- Piaget's theory argues that we go through four stages of cognitive development: sensory motor, pre-operational, concrete operational, and formal operational.
- Each stage builds upon the previous one, and we must go through all four stages to reach full human intelligence.
Sensory Motor Stage (Ages 0-2)
- Develop through experiences and movement, using our five senses.
- Start with simple reflexes and develop habits from 4 months old.
- Become aware of things beyond our own body and learn to do things intentionally.
- Key milestone: development of working memory or object permanence (realization that objects continue to exist even when we can't see them).
Pre-Operational Stage (Ages 2-7)
- Thinking is categorized through symbolic functions and intuitive thoughts.
- Believe objects are alive and have lots of fantasies.
- Learn to speak and understand that words, images, and gestures are symbols for something else.
- Play pretend, allowing us to experience new things and learn a lot.
- Curious and ask many questions, wanting to know everything.
- Thinking is still egocentric, believing others see the world like we do.
Concrete Operational Stage (Ages 7-11)
- Discover logic and develop concrete cognitive operations, such as sorting objects in a certain order.
- Understand the concept of conservation (that the amount of liquid remains the same despite changes in container shape).
- Can reverse an action by doing the opposite.
- Begin to understand that our thoughts and feelings are unique and not necessarily those of others.
Formal Operational Stage (Age 12+)
- Ability to think more rationally about abstract concepts and hypothetical events.
- Form a deeper understanding of our own identity and morality.
- Can compare two statements and reach a logical generalization, and plan our life systematically.
- Can philosophize and think about thinking itself.
Pre-Operational Stage Characteristics
- Egocentric thinking, where children cannot see a situation from another person's perspective.
- Lack of conservation, where children believe the amount of liquid changes when poured into a differently shaped container.
- Intuitive thinking, resulting in characteristic errors in reasoning.
- Difficulty mentally reversing a sequence of events or logical operations (irreversibility).
- Unable to decenter their thinking, thinking about more than one aspect of a problem at a time.
- Symbolic play, where children use objects to represent something else.
