  1. Intellectual Development The Theories of Jean Piaget

  2. Piaget Four Stages of Development 1. Sensorimotor Birth- 2 years 2. Preoperational 2-7 years 3. Concrete Operations 7-11 years 4. Formal Operations 11- adult Silly Preschoolers Come to Fremd

  3. Sensorimotor Stage • 1st stage of mental development • Infants use their senses and motor skills to learn and communicate • Learning during this period is extremely important- can be the basis for all future mental development! (INFANT SCIENTIST) • Piaget divided this stage into 6 substages…

  4. Sensorimotor Stage • Substage One: Birth to 1 month • Practices reflexes- sucking, grasping, crying • Egocentric- infants do not understand themselves as a separate person • -- the world revolves around me!!! 

  5. Sensorimotor Stage • Substage Two: 1 to 4 months • Combine two or more reflexes • - Example: May wave their fists and bring it to their mouths at the same time • Repeat these new combinations often

  6. Sensorimotor Stage • Substage Three: 4 to 8 months • Begin to control their mental world by making connections between what they do and what happens • - Example: touch mobile in crib and make it move • Intentionally repeat enjoyable activities

  7. Sensorimotor Stage • Substage Four: 8 to 12 months • Piaget believed by age one, babies apply learnings to solve problems • - Example: may squeeze, hit, or shake an object to see what it will do • Start imitating others- important way to learn!

  8. Sensorimotor Stage • Substage Four Cont’d: • Learn to follow objects with their eyes • Love to play peek-a-boo!! http://welkefamily.blogspot.com/

  9. Sensorimotor Stage • Substage Four Cont’d: • Begin to understand Object Permanence • - objects continue to exist, even when out of sight- • -infants are able to find partially hidden objects

  10. Sensorimotor Stage • Substage Five: 12- 18 months • Infants discover new ways to solve problems • -Example: may push away box to find a toy behind it • Can find totally hidden object

  11. Sensorimotor Stage • Substage Six: 18 months- 2 years • The beginning of thought processes • Toddlers start to think about what they’re going to do before they do it • Trial and error exploration- if I do this, what will happen??

  12. Preoperational • This is the 2nd major stage of development • Children begin to do some mental thinking rather than solving all problems through physical skills • Occurs during the preschool years • Ages 2-7

  13. Preoperational • Believes that there are 11 basic concepts that children must master in order to move on to the next stage • Conservation, classification, sequencing, reversibility, cause & effect, recall, time, representation, number, spatial relations, and language

  14. Preoperational • Two sub-stages of preoperational: • Preconceptual: children form a mental image of what they see around them . . . many of these are incomplete or illogical • EX: All collies are the dog “Lassie” • Intuitive: children are sometimes able to grasp a problem’s solution by how they feel about it • EX: If they are on the stairs and higher than a parent, they will still feel that they are a small person and not really “taller” than the parent

  15. Preoperational • Still EGOCENTRIC • a belief a person has that everyone thinks in the same way and has the same ideas as he or she does

  16. Preoperational • Symbolic play is important in this stage of development • pretend play • objects stand for something else • change things from the real world or dreams

  17. Preoperational • Mental images are symbols of objects and past experiences that are stored in their mind. • Can picture the following in their heads: • Cat • Thunderstorm • Flower • School

  18. Preoperational • Logical thinking concepts: Concepts that are not directly experienced through the senses but are developed through thought. • These require the thinker to see a relationship between things

  19. Preoperational • Language development is extremely important in this stage: • Articulation (making the sounds in language) • Vocabulary (estimations below) • 900 words at age 3 • 1,500 words at age 4 • 2,000 words at age 5 • Grammar . . . matures a great deal between ages 3-5 years old
