what happens in the formal operational stage (12+ years)
-kids understand sequences, consequences and abstract ideas
-priorities actions/events and thoughts
-think about how time can change things
what happens in the concrete operational stage (7-12 years)
-children apply rules and strategies help with their thinking
-they learn seridation, classification, reversibility, conservation, decentration
-children have difficulties understanding abstract ideas such as morality
what happens in the intuitive thoughts stage (4-7 years)
-children are only able to focus on one thing
-children dont understand reversibility or conservation (liquid test)
what happens in the symbolic function stage (2-4 years)
-children are ecocentric
-children use objects as symbols
what happens in the pre-operational stage (2-7 years)
-symbolic function 2-4 years)
-intuitive thoughts (4-7 years_)
what happens in the sensorimotor stage (0-2 years)
-object permanence i acquired at 6 months old
-babies use their senses and movements to understand the world
what is seriation
sorting objects e.g. into sizes
what is classification
naming and identifying objects according to size or appearance
what is reversibility
knowing that 2+4=6, therefore 6-2= (using objects, counters)
