Study Notes
Piaget's Preoperational Stage (2-7 years)
- Children learn to use language to explore the world, but they are not yet capable of logical thought.
- They are too young to perform mental operations and lack conservation.
Developmental Phenomena
- Pretend Play: Children practice and strengthen newly acquired representational schemes through pretending.
- Animism: Attributing life-like qualities to non-living objects.
- Egocentrism: Having difficulty taking other people's perspectives.
- Centration: Focusing on one aspect of a situation and neglecting other important aspects.
- Irreversibility: Having difficulty understanding that actions can be reversed.
Theory of Mind (4-5 years)
- Children develop an understanding of their own and others' mental states, including feelings, perceptions, and thoughts.
- They begin to understand how mental states can predict behaviors.
Motor Skills Development
- 9-12 months: Children develop advanced fine-motor skills, in addition to major milestones like standing up and walking.
- Around this age, children:
- Crawl
- Grasp and pull objects towards their own body
- Transfer toys and objects from one hand to the other
