  7. Preoperational Stage • 2 to 6 years old • Moving away from simple sense and motor experience with the world, but still not quite abstract • Lack the idea of conservation • “real room” vs. model room studies • Children acquire conservation earlier than Piaget had expected • Children in the stage are Egocentric • They lack the ability to see the world through others’ eyes • “Three mountain” task • Children start to develop a theory of mind during this phase • “Me” vs. “You”

  8. Finally . . . • Concrete Operational Phase • 7 to 11 years • Begin to be able to comprehend mathematic equations • Need to have the “concrete” material to manipulate • Formal Operational Phase • 12 to adulthood • Purely abstract reasoning

  9.
