sensorimotor

______________ is a cognitive development that involves the coordination of senses with motor responses, sensory curiosity about the world. Language used for demands and cataloguing. object permanence is developed.

Sensorimotor = 0-2yrs

Preoperational = 2-7 years

Concrete operational = 7-11yrs

Formal operational = 11yrs+

what is Piaget’s Theory of the cognitive development order for children? what is the associated age range for each development

Preoperational

______________ is a cognitive development that involves symbolic thinking, use of proper syntax and grammar to express concepts. Imagination and intuition are strong but complex abstract thoughts are still difficult. Conservation is developed

concrete operational

______________ is a cognitive development where concepts are attached to situations. Time, space, and quantity are understood and can be applied, but not as independent concepts

formal operational

______________ is a cognitive development that involved theoretical, hypothetical, and counterfactual thinking. Abstract logic reasoning. Strategy and planning become possible. Concepts learned in one context can be applied to another.
