PIAGET'S THEORY OF COGNITIVE
DEVELOPMENT, GROUP 3 WILL PROVIDE
INSIGHTS AND DATA'S AS TO HOW JEAN
PIAGET'S SYSTEM WORKS.
INTRODUCTION

JEAN PIAGET'S THEORY OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT-

refers to the ability to learn or understand from experience,
to acquire knowledge and retain certain knowledge. To
respond to a new situation and to Solve Certain Problems.

According to Piaget humans need's to at least experience

or conquer 4 stages of cognitive development in order for
us to successfully manifest our ability to think.

STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
INFANT (SENSORIMOTOR
STAGE) 0-2 Years

I t is the stage where we practice learning

through our senses what our brains wants us
to see, hear, smell, taste and touch, using
this reflex behaviors we develop habits. for
examples are, baby sucking on their thumbs
enjoying rattles and parent's voices. As they
grow older they learn people are entities
separate from objects; primary refers to
activities related to a child's ow body while
circulatory reaction shows repetition of
behaviors also a key milestone would be the
development of working memory or In
Piaget's term we call it our realization of
"OBJECT PERMANENCE"

 STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
PRE - OPERATIONAL
PRECONCEPTUAL
2 – 4 YEARS
TOD D LER - ( TERTIARY CIRCULAR REACTION &
INVENTION OF NEW MEANS & START OF PREOPERATIVE
PERIOD)
- uses trials and error to discover characteristics of
objects and events
- invents new means and is able to think through
actions or mentally project solutions to a problem.
- relearning on a conceptual level, some lessons
m astered as an infant ; using symbols to represent
objects; draw conclusions only from obvious facts that
they see.
- Remains egocentric – as they only perceive the world
through their point of view.

INTUITIVE
4-7 YEARS
PRE-SCHOOLER -
-Intuitive thoughts, tends to look at an objects and see
only 1 characteristics or centering, like for example
(banana is yellow, m edicine is bitter) which contributes
to the lack of CONSERVATION) - or the ability to discern
truth through physical properties changed and
Reversibility ( Ability to retrace their steps) for example
would be putting the same amount of water but to a
longer and shorter container, they would think the
longer has more.
- They love to play pretend (Role fantasy)
- Assimilation ( Taking in information and changing it to
fix their existing ideas.

 STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
CONCRETE OPERATIONAL THOUGHT

SCHOOL AGE – CONCRETE SCHOOL AGE – CONCRETE

OPERATIONAL THOUGHT
7 – 11 YEARS OLD
-finally develops logic , as they discover concrete
solutions to everyday problems and recognizes cause
and effect relationships, this starts as early as 7 years
old.
-Inductive reasoning – from specific to general (Toy is
broken; Toy is Made from plastic; all plastic toys break
easily)
OPERATIONAL THOUGHT
7 – 11 YEARS OLD
This is where we understand that changing the size's
wont differ much when you put in the same amount.
By the sam e logic we discover that if
3 + 5 = 8 then
3–8=5
our brain re -organizes our thoughts so they can built
and classify concrete operational mental structures
exam ple would be ( we know that we can reverse the
action by doing the opposite )
This is where we understand that our thoughts and
feelings are unique and usually is not the same with
others.

 STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
FORMAL OPERATIONAL
FORMAL OPERATIONAL
(ADOLESCENT) - 12+
-As they became teenagers they are now capable of
thinking rationally
-Capable of thinking in terms of possibility - what
can be (Abstract thoughts) – Rather than being
limited to what already is (CONCRETE thoughts)
-able to use scientific reasonings
-understands deductive reasoning (From general to
Specific) - Plastic toys break easily; this toy is
plastic; it will break easily.
PRESENTATION TITLE
FORMAL OPERATIONAL
(ADOLESCENT) - 12+
Abstract Thoughts/concepts such as love, success,
failure, hate.
-we form deeper understanding about ourselves
, identity and morality. We also claim that we
understand why people behave on a certain way
and as a result can become more compassionate.
- our brain is able to do deductive reasoning ( This
means we can compare 2 statements and reach a
logical realization
-this is where our mental structure forms to be more
systematically and we can make assumptions about
events, or hypothesis that will come into reality
