Piaget’s Theory of Child Development
• Sensorimotor - (birth to 2 years) Child thinks with their eyes, ears, and hands. Cognitive system is limited to motor reflexes at birth, but the child builds on these reflexes.
• Preoperational - (2 years to 7 years) Child acquires skills in the area of mental imagery and language. He or she is very egocentric. The child cannot yet think abstractly and needs concrete physical situations.
