FAQ About Jean Piaget

The four stages of Piaget's cognitive development theory are:
1. Sensorimotor Stage (Birth to 2 years): During this stage, infants learn about the world through their senses and actions. They develop object permanence, the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen.
2. Preoperational Stage (2 to 7 years): At this stage, children develop memory and imagination. They are capable of symbolic play and learn to use language, but they do not yet understand concrete logic.
3. Concrete Operational Stage (7 to 11 years): Children begin to think logically about concrete events. They gain a better understanding of the concept of conservation and can organize objects logically.
4. Formal Operational Stage (12 years and up): In this stage, the ability to think about abstract concepts emerges. Adolescents can perform logical thought, deduction, and systematic planning.
