Study Notes
Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development
Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years)
- Infants learn through sensory experiences and motor activities
- Object permanence is achieved, understanding that objects exist even when out of sight
- Infants use reflexes and learn to coordinate sensory information with motor actions
Pre-operational Stage (2-7 years)
- Children use symbols and language to represent the world
- Egocentrism, unable to take other people's perspectives
- Thinking is still centered around the self, with limited understanding of others' viewpoints
- Play is imaginative, with symbols and fantasy used to represent reality
Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years)
- Children develop logical thinking, but only with concrete objects and events
- Able to classify, seriate, and conserve objects and quantities
- Thinking is more logical and systematic, but still limited to concrete situations
Formal Operational Stage (11-15 years and beyond)
- Adolescents develop abstract thinking and logical reasoning
- Able to consider multiple perspectives and hypothetical situations
- Thinking is more abstract, logical, and systematic, with the ability to reason about abstract concepts
Sensorimotor Stage Sub-Stages
0-6 weeks
- Reflexes dominate behavior, with little sense of the external world
- Infants respond to stimuli with automatic reactions
6 weeks - 7 months
- Infants start to develop coordination between senses and motor actions
- Beginning to understand object permanence, with some understanding of spatial relationships
7-9 months
- Infants develop problem-solving skills, using trial and error to achieve goals
- Object permanence is more solidified, with understanding of object movement and spatial relationships
10+ months
- Infants develop more complex problem-solving skills, using tools and symbols to achieve goals
- Understanding of object permanence and spatial relationships is more advanced, with the ability to anticipate and plan for object movement
