During Piaget’s stages of cognitive development‚ he introduces four different stages that children go through all the way up to adolescents. Piaget states that none of these stages can be skipped. These stages show how a child’s mind is intellectually developing over time as they grow. Their cognitive abilities progress and they begin to have a better understanding of the world around them. Throughout this paper I will explain the four stages of cognitive development; sensorimotor‚ preoperational

Assimilation and Accommodation Jean Piaget viewed intellectual growth as a process of adaptation (adjustment) to the world. This happens through: * Assimilation‚ which is using an existing schema to deal with a new object or situation. * Accommodation – this happens when the existing schema (knowledge) does not work‚ and needs to be changed to deal with a new object or situation. * Equilibration – occurs when a child’s schemas can deal with most new information through assimilation

From the ago of two to seven years old‚ children then advance to the preoperational stage‚ where they are be able to think beyond immediate physical experiences‚ but are

The stages include: sensorimotor‚ preoperational‚ concrete operations‚ and formal operations. A 3-year-old performs in the preoperational stage‚ while a 9-year-old works in the concrete operations stage. The two different aged children understand reality differently.
