  2. Biography • Piaget was born in Neuchatel, Switzerland in 1896 • He published his first paper when he was ten- it was a one page account of his sighting of an albino sparrow • Piaget is famous for his learning theories based on identifiable stages in the development of children's intelligence. • In his work Piaget identified the child's four stages of mental growth.

  3. Preview • In the sensorimotor stage, occurring from birth to age 2, the child is concerned with gaining motor control. • In the preoperational stage, from ages 2 to 7, the child is working with verbal skills. • In the concrete operational stage, from ages 7 to 12, the child begins to deal with abstract concepts such as numbers. • In the formal operational stage, ages 12 to 15, the child begins to reason logically and systematically.

  4. Sensorimotor Stage • Infant uses senses and motor abilities • Birth to about two years old • Primary Circular Reactions • 1 to 4 months • An action of his own serves as a stimulus to which it responds by doing the action again • EX: the baby may suck her thumb, that feels good so she sucks some more. • Secondary circular Reactions • 4 to 12 months • Involves an act that extends out to the environment • EX: She may squeeze a rubber duckie. It goes “Quack” she enjoys this so she does it again

  5. Sensorimotor Stage • Secondary Circular stage • Babies become ticklish, and develop object permanence • The ability to recognize that just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean its not there • Tertiary Circular Stage • 12 to 24 months • “Making interesting things last” • EX: hitting a post with a spoon makes a noise • Mental Representation • 1 to a half • To hold an image in their mind for a period beyond the immediate experience • Deferred imitation or mental combination

  6. Preoperational Stage • In the preoperational stage, from ages 2 to 7, the child is working with verbal skills • Children are able to concentrate on only one aspect of any problem at a time • There are three symbols a child uses in the preoperational stage, a drawing, a written word, and a spoken word • Egocentric-Only able to see things from one point of view

  7. Concrete Operations Stage • At the age of 6 or 7 the child begins to develop the ability to conserve number, length, and liquid volume • The operations stage lasts up to age 11 • At age 9 or 10 the child would be able to master the conservation test • If you show a child four marbles in a row, then spread them out, the pre-operational child will focus on the spread of marbles tend to believe that there are now more marbles than before

  8. Formal Operations Stage • In the formal operational stage, ages 12 to 15, the child begins to reason logically and systematically. • Around the age of 13 the child begins thinking more like an adult(Maturation) • Hypothetical thinking-using abstract thinking rather than concrete thinking • Some of us may never reach the formal operations stage, and people who do, don’t always operate in it at all times. Abstract reasoning is simply not universal.
