This stage takes place during a child’s first two years of his life. The child will then
discover the difference between themselves and the environment around them. They
will use their senses to learn things about themselves and the environment around
them.
2. Preoperational thinking.
This stage takes place during a child’s life, from two years to seven years. During
this stage the child will develop abstract mental processes and they build on object
performance. They can now think about things in the past, not only in the physical
world.

world outside. In the discipline of developmental psychology, his work is recognized
as fundamental. During his time at the Binet Institute in the 1920s, Piaget's primary
duty was to translate the questions from IQ tests into other languages. When
youngsters were asked questions that required logical thought, he became curious
as to why they responded incorrectly.
Piaget was "intrigued by the fact that children of different ages made different kinds
of mistakes while solving problems" in 1919, when he was working at the Alfred
Binet Laboratory School in Paris. The basis for his hypothesis of cognitive
development was his involvement with and observations made at the Alfred Binet
Laboratory.
For instance, he thought that kids perceive the world through doing, putting things
into words, reasoning, and thinking logically.

Piaget also asserted that cognitive growth is at the core of the human organism and
that language is dependent on the knowledge and understanding gained through
cognitive development. The focus was mostly on Piaget's early work.
Despite its enormous popularity, Piaget's theory has numerous drawbacks that he
was aware of, such as the fact that it favours abrupt stages over continuous growth
(horizontal and vertical decalage).
