T1: Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development - RM Flashcards
Sensorimotor (Birth - 2 years)
- Learns the world through the senses
- Displays curiosity
- Shows intentional behavior
- Begins to see that objects exist apart from self
- Begins to see that objects as separate from self
Preoperational (2 - 7 years)
- Uses symbols and language
- Sees himself as the center of the universe; egocentric

Concrete Operations (7 - 11 years)
- Operates and reacts to the concrete: What is perceived as actual

Formal Operations ( 11 - adolescence)
- Develops the ability to think abstractly: to reason, deduce, and define concepts in a logical manner
- Some individuals do not develop the ability to think abstractly
