Jean Piaget Cognitive Development Powerpoint

Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist who developed one of the most influential theories of cognitive development. He suggested that children think fundamentally differently than adults and develop intellectually through four distinct stages - sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. In each stage, children acquire new cognitive abilities that allow them to understand and interact with the world in increasingly complex ways.

Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist. He is most


famously known for his theory of cognitive development
that looked at how children develop intellectually
throughout the course of childhood. Prior to Piaget's
theory, children were often thought of simply as mini-
adults. Instead, Piaget suggested that the way children
think is fundamentally different from the way that adults
think.

Four Stages of Cognitive
Development
4 satges

SENSORIMOTOR STAGE 0-2 years

PREOPERATIONAL STAGE 2-7 years

CONCRETE OPERATIONAL STAGE 7-11 years

FORMAL OPERATIONAL STAGE 12+

5
SENSORIMOTOR
STAGE (0 to 2 years)
 Motor senses – sight, sound, touch, smell, taste
Infants understand the world through motor senses
 They realise they are different to the inanimate objects
around them
 They start learning that things can exist even if they don’t
see them (object permanence)
 They also learn to start experimenting with trial and error
to get attention

6
PREOPERATIONAL
STAGE (2 to 7 years)
 The hallmark of this stage is the emergence of
language
 Children now begin to use words and pictures to
represent objects
 Children start to think about themselves more
and therefore become egocentric. They rarely
understand that things can look different from
other people’s point of view

7
CONCRETE
OPERATIONAL (7 to 11 years)

STAGE  The main aspect of this stage is the development of


logical reasoning
 Socio-centric – they observe other people’s
viewpoint and differences
 Conservation – when an object is split into 2, the
sum of the 2 is still the same object-
 Reversibility – understanding that many objects can
be changed and returned to their original conditions

8
FORMAL
OPERATIONAL (12+ years)

STAGE  Abstract thought and hypothetical thinking


emerges
 Thinking about eventual consequences of their
actions
 Problem-solving without trial and error-
 Performing mental operations without needing
physical assists
