 Piaget Theory of Cognitive Development

• During this time, a child learns

Sensorimotor Stage (Birth – 2 y.o)
about the world through their
sensory perceptions and motor
interactions. It is a time of
astonishing cognitive change as
children gain a great deal of
knowledge about the world
around them.
 Piaget Theory of Cognitive Development

• At this stage, children still lack

The Preoperational Stage (2- 6 yr old)
the ability to mentally
manipulate information and
struggle to see things from other
people’s point of view. A great
deal of language development
takes place during this stage.
 Piaget Theory of Cognitive Development

logical thought
 Piaget Theory of Cognitive Development
