Child Adolesence Report1

Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development posits that intelligence evolves as children grow, involving the construction of mental models through interaction with their environment. He identified four universal stages: Sensorimotor (birth to 2 years), Preoperational (2-7 years), Concrete Operational (7-11 years), and Formal Operational (12 years and up), each characterized by distinct cognitive abilities. The stages are invariant and occur in the same order across cultures, although the rate of progression may vary among children.

PIAGET’S THEORY AND STAGES OF

COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
BACKGROUND AND KEY CONCEPTS
OF PIAGET’S THEORY
PRESENTED BY: GROUP VI
JEAN PIAGET’S THEORY

Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive


development suggest that intelligence changes
as children grow. A child’s cognitive
development is not just about acquiring
knowledge, the child has to develop or construct
a mental model of the world.
JEAN PIAGET’S THEORY

Cognitive development occurs


through the interaction of innate
capacities and environmental events,
and children pass through a series of
stages.
PIAGET’S STAGES ARE:

⚫Sensorimotor stage: Birth from 18-24


months
⚫Preoperational stage: 2-7 years

⚫Concrete operational stage: 7-11 years

⚫Formal operational stage: Ages 12 and up


The sequence of the stages is
universal across cultures and follow the
same invariant (unchanging) order. All
children go through the same stages in
the same order (but not all at the same
rate).
The Sensorimotor Stage
⚫Ages: Birth to 2 Years
⚫ Major Characteristics and Developmental
Changes: The infant learns about the
world through their senses and through
their actions (moving around and
exploring its environment).
⚫During the sensorimotor stage a range of
cognitive abilities develop. These include:
object permanence; self-recognition;
deferred imitation; and representational
play.
The Preoperational Stage
⚫ Ages: 2 - 7 Years
⚫ Major Characteristics and Developmental
Changes:
⚫ Toddlers and young children acquire the ability
to internally represent the world through
language and mental imagery.
⚫ During this stage, young children can think about
things symbolically. This is the ability to make one
thing, such as a word or an object, stand for
something other than itself.A child’s thinking is
dominated by how the world looks, not how the
world is.
The Concrete Operational Stage
⚫Ages: 7 – 11 Years
Major Characteristics and Developmental
Changes:
⚫During this stage, children begin to
thinking logically about concrete events.
⚫Children begin to understand the concept
of conservation; understanding that,
although things may change in
appearance, certain properties remain the
same.
The Formal Operational Stage
⚫Ages: 12 and Over
Major Characteristics and Developmental
Changes:
Concrete operations are carried out on things
whereas formal operations are carried out on
ideas. Formal operational thought is entirely
freed from physical and perceptual constraints.
During this stage, adolescents can deal with
abstract ideas (e.g. no longer needing to think
about slicing up cakes or sharing sweets to
understand division and fractions).
