Jean Piaget
Born in Switzerland in 189
Oldest son of Arthur Piaget
(Swiss), a professor of medieval
literature at the University of
Neuchatel, and Rebecca Jackson
(French).
Piaget was a precocious child
who developed an interest in
biology and the natural world
In 1923, he married Valentine
Chtenay and they had three
children.

Jean Piaget
He
proposed,
intelligence
is
something that grows and develops
through a series of stages. Older
children don't just think faster than
younger children, he suggested.
Instead there are both qualitative
and
quantitative
differences
between the thinking of young
children versus older children.

Jean Piaget
According to Piaget, children
progress through a series of four
key
stages
of
cognitive
development. Each stage is marked
by shifts in how kids understand the
world. Piaget believed that children
are like "little scientists" and that
they actively try to explore and
make sense of the world around
them.

Jean Piaget
Through his observations of his own
children, Piaget developed a stage
theory of intellectual development
that included four distinct stages:
the sensorimotor stage, from birth
to age 2; the preoperational stage,
from age 2 to about age 7; the
concrete operational stage, from
age 7 to 11; and the formal
operational stage, which begins in
adolescence and spans into
adulthood.

Stages of Cognitive Development

Sensorimotor Stage
(birth to 2 years)
Preoperational Stage
(2 7 years)
Stage of Concrete Operations
(7 11 years)
Stage of Formal Operations
(11 years and older)

Sensorimotor Stage
The sensorimotor stage is the first of
the four stages in cognitive
development which "extends from
birth to the acquisition of language".
In this stage, infants progressively
construct
knowledge
and
understanding of the world by
coordinating experiences (such as
vision and hearing) with physical
interactions with objects (such as
grasping, sucking, and stepping).
Object
permanence
the
understanding that objects have a
separate, permanent existence.

Pre-operational Stage
the pre-operational stage, starts
when the child begins to learn to
speak at age two and lasts up until
the age of seven.
During the Pre-operational Stage of
cognitive development, Piaget noted
that children do not yet understand
concrete logic and cannot mentally
manipulate information.
Semiotic function-the ability to use
symbols to represent actions or
objects mentally.

Concrete Operational Stage

The concrete operational stage is
the third stage of Piaget's theory of
cognitive development. Begins about
first grade, to early adolescence,
around 11 years old.
a child's thought processes become
more mature and "adult like". They
start solving problems in a more
logical fashion.
Understands
conservation
and
organizes things into categories and
in series.

Formal Operational Stage

The final stage is known as the formal
operational stage.
Adolescence and into adulthood,
roughly ages 11 to approximately 1520.
Intelligence is demonstrated through
the logical use of symbols related to
abstract concepts.
The person is capable of hypothetical
and deductive reasoning.
Ability to think about abstract
concepts.
