Transcript of Piaget and Cognitive Development
Jean Piaget and hisTheories: CognitiveDevelopment andEpistemology
Through play,
children assimilateinformation
into their schemas,
and accommodateto their surroundings.
Play Is
EssentialTo the development
Of the the human mind.

ConcreteOperations (7-11)
Formal Operations(11-16)
The Stages Of CognitiveDevelopment:
“Object
Permanence”
“Egocentrism”
“InteriorizedAction”
“AbstractThought”
Sensory-Motor Stage (Birth-2)
Six Substages:1. Random and reflex actions (0-1)
2. Primary circular reactions (1-4)
3. Secondary circular reactions (4-8)
4. Coordination of secondary schemata (8-14)
5. Tertiary circular reactions (12-18)
6. Invention of new means through mentalcombinations (18-2yrs)
Sensory Motor Substages (1-3)
Random and ReflexActions (1st substage):
“Random but Important.”
Primary CircularReactions (2nd substage):
“The recognition ofshapes, objects andfaces.”
Secondary CircularReactions (3rd substage):
“Imitation.”
Sensory Motor Substages (4-6)
Coordination of secondaryschemata (4th substage):
“Intent. ObjectIndependence. SymbolicThought.”
Tertiary circularreactions (5th substage):
“Rapid expansion ofSchema.”
New Means through newcombinations (6thsubstage):
“Thought before action.”
Preoperational Stage (2-7)
Key Terms and Concepts:
“Egocentric behavior”
“transductive reasoning”
“syncretic thought”
“juxtaposition reasoning”
“animism”
“artificialism”
Preconceptual Stage (agestwo to four)
Preceptual or IntuitiveThought Period (ages four toseven)
Preconceptual Stage (2-4)
In thePreconceptual stagethe child begins touse language andmental images, andattempts togeneralize inillogical ways.
Preceptual/IntuitiveThought Period (4-7)
In thePeriod of Intuitive Thought,Problem-solvingdependson instinctiveThought andappearances,not on judgmentOr reasoning.
Concrete Operations (7-11)“… the child now can nowoperate in thought onconcrete objects or theirrepresentations.”
--Logic V. SurfaceAppearances.
Formal Operations (11, or 12 -->)
“Operate on Operations”
“Thinking about thoughtrather than aboutconcrete things.”
-- Hypotheses
Epistemology is simply
The development of
Knowledge or logical
Structures over time.
How do we come toknow what weknow?
Development iscontinuous andconsistent.
