Q

What are Piaget’s Stages of Development?

A

1) The Sensorimotor Period: birth to 2 years: child’s cognitive system is limited to motor reflexes at birth, but the child builds on these reflexes to develop more sophisticated procedures. Learn to generalize their activities to a wider range of situations and coordinate them into increasingly lengthy chains of bx.
2) PreOperational Thought: 2-7 years: Kids acquire representational skills in the areas of mental imagery, and especially language. They are self-oriented and have an egocentric view.
3) Concrete Operational: 7-11: Able to take another’s point of view now. More accurate view of cause and effect. The child can reason quite well if concrete objects are used in teaching. The concept of conservation (that matter does not change when its form is altered) is learned at this age.
4) Formal Operational: 11-Adult: Fully mature thought has been attained; can think abstractly about objects or concepts and consider different outcomes.

3) Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years): The child continues to become more assertive and take initiative, but may be too forceful, leading to guilt feelings.
4) Industry vs. Inferiority (6-12): The child must deal with demands to learn new skills or risk a sense of inferiority, failure, and incompetence.
5) Identity vs. Role Confusion (12-18): The teen must achieve a sense of identity in occupation, sex roles, politics, and religion.
6) Intimacy vs. Isolation (19-40): Young adults need to form intimate, loving relationships. Success leads to strong relationships. Failure leads to loneliness and isolation.
7) Generativity vs. Stagnation: Adults need to create or nurture things that will outlast them, often by having kids or creating a positive change that benefits other people. Success leads to feelings of usefulness/accomplishment; failure results in shallow involvement in the world.
8) Ego Integrity vs. Despair (65 to death): Older adults need to look back on life and feel a sense of fulfillment. Success at this stage leads to feelings of wisdom, while failure results in regret, bitterness, despair.
