stages of development
Sensorimotor stage description
- The infant explores the world through direct sensory and motor contact
- Object permanence and separation anxiety develop during this stage
Object permanence and separation anxiety develop during this stage
Sensorimotor Stage
Preoperational stage description
- The child uses symbols (words and images) to represent objects but does not reason logically
- The child also has the ability to pretend
- during this stage the child is egocentric
Concrete operational stage description
- The child can think logically about concrete objects and can thus add and subtract
- the child also understands conservation
Formal operational stage description
The adolescent can reason abstractly and think in hypothetical terms
The stage that the child is egocentric
Preoperational stage
The stage the child has the ability to pretend
preoperational stage
The stage that the child can think logically
