  1. Piaget Stage Two Preoperational Period Ages 2-7 yrs

  2. Logic? • Assimilation and accommodation • Children form concepts in their minds • Concepts: general categories of objects and information

  3. Logic? All things in the air are birds. Then they learn the difference between bird and plane

  4. Logical Thinking Another Example These are all apples because they are red

  5. Preoperational Stage Basic mental operations start replacing sensorimotor activities as the primary way to learn.

  6. Language & Grammar Children learn mostly by language and mental images A rule is a rule I “eated” my apple No, it’s “ate” Then I “ated” my apple

  7. Language and Grammar basketti Shocolate Cheesecake

  8. Preoperational Stage • Make-believe play is used to create and express all kinds of mental images

  9. Preoperational Stage Egocentrism Everyone views the world like I do

  10. Preoperational Stage • Egocentrism • The sun follows them from place to place and goes to bed when they do • Problems with reversibility—can’t see the world from other's perspectives

  11. Preoperational Stage Children are prone to thinking errors Just as a walking toddler is prone to missteps

  12. Preoperational Stage use feeling to solve problems rather than logic I don’t want to go to sleep! I’m not tired! He hurt my feelings so I hit him!

  13. Preoperational Stage • Begin learning multiple classification– the ability to understand that an object may fit into more than one category

  14. Preoperational Stage • Begin learning seriation—the ability top order groups of things by size, weight, or any common property • For example arranging beads on a bracelet from smallest to largest • However preschool age children cannot arrange themselves by height

  15. Preoperational Stage Conservation • They think the same amount of liquid is more when poured into a tall thin glass. • To them taller means more!

  16. Preoperational Stage Another example of conservation

  17. Preoperational Stage Parts to Whole What is this? A Banana

  18. Preoperational Stage They have two kinds of reasoning 1. Synergetic– a break in logic, changing set of criteria Example: Mother usually makes dinner before dad comes home so making dinner causes dad to come home.

  19. Preoperational Stage Making Muffins First, you put all of the white powder in a bowl. Then you pour milk into it. Stir and pour in metal cups that are hooked together. Now hurry and put in the oven because we are late for school.

  20. Preoperational Stage Intuitive reasoning—They guess!! Which line has more marbles?

  21. Preoperational Stage Time My birthday is before Christmas and after Halloween

  22. Preoperational Stage Time Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

  23. Preoperational Stage • Children may not be aware of what is real and what is make-believe

  24. Piaget • In general we learn: • Children learn to master one skill before another • Children learn in their own ways • And not as adults do!!

  25. Drawing You can tell a lot about cognitive development by looking at a child’s drawing Scribbling (around ages 1-2)

  26. Drawing Basic Shapes (around ages 2 1/2-3)

  27. Drawing Symbolic Basic Shapes (around ages 3-4)

  28. Drawing Combined Forms (around ages 5-7)
