  1. Stages of Cognitive Development Dr. Jaime Curts The University of Texas Pan American Fall 2005 JBCurts/2005

  2. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: In this period (which has 6 substages), intelligence is demonstrated through motor activity without the use of symbols. Sensorimotor stage (Infancy) JBCurts/2005

  3. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Knowledge of the world is limited because it is based on physical interactions/ experiences. Sensorimotor stage (Infancy) JBCurts/2005

  4. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Children acquire object permanence at about 7 months of age. Sensorimotor stage (Infancy) JBCurts/2005

  5. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Physical development (mobility) allows the child to begin developing new intellectual abilities. Sensorimotor stage (Infancy) JBCurts/2005

  6. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Some symbolic (language) abilities are developed at the end of this stage. Sensorimotor stage (Infancy) JBCurts/2005

  7. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Intelligence demonstrated through the use of symbols, language use matures, and memory and imagination are developed. Pre-operational stage (Toddler and Early Childhood) JBCurts/2005

  8. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Thinking is done in a nonlogical, nonreversable manner. Pre-operational stage (Toddler and Early Childhood) JBCurts/2005

  9. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Pre-operational stage (Toddler and Early Childhood) Egocentric thinking predominates. JBCurts/2005

  10. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: This stage is characterized by 7 types of conservation: Concrete operational stage (Elementary and early adolescence) number, length, liquid, mass, weight, area, and volume. JBCurts/2005

  11. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Intelligence is demonstrated through logical and systematic manipulation of symbols related to concrete objects. Concrete operational stage (Elementary and early adolescence) JBCurts/2005

  12. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Concrete operational stage (Elementary and early adolescence) Operational thinking develops (mental actions that are reversible). JBCurts/2005

  13. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Concrete operational stage (Elementary and early adolescence) Egocentric thought diminishes. JBCurts/2005

  14. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Intelligence is demonstrated through the logical manipulation of symbols related to abstract concepts. Formal operational stage (Adolescence and adulthood) JBCurts/2005

  15. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Early in this period there is a return to egocentric thought. Formal operational stage (Adolescence and adulthood) JBCurts/2005

  16. Stages of Cognitive Development Piaget identified four stages in cognitive development: Formal operational stage (Adolescence and adulthood) Many adults never attain this stage. JBCurts/2005

  17. Research Studies Piaget's research methods were based primarily on case studies [they were descriptive]. While some  of his ideas have been supported through more correlational and experimental methodologies, others have not. JBCurts/2005

  18. Research Studies For example, Piaget believed that biological development drives the movement from one cognitive stage to the next. Data from cross-sectional studies of children in a variety of western cultures seem to support this assertion for the stages of sensorimotor, preoperational, and concrete operations. JBCurts/2005

  19. JBCurts/2005

  20. Research Studies However, data from similar cross-sectional studies of adolescents do not support the assertion that all individuals will automatically move to the next cognitive stage as they biologically mature. For formal operations, it appears that maturation establishes the basis, but a special environment is required for most adolescents and adults to attain this stage. JBCurts/2005

  22. Research Studies Although research does not support all of Piaget’s descriptive theory, it is still influential for parent’s and educators. JBCurts/2005
