a psychodynamic global theory of

- This is characterized by innate
responses to stimulus which is
essentially reflexive.

development

Pre-Conceptual Stage(2-4 years)

different kind of symbols to play
behavior and in language.

Stages of cognitive
development
Intuitive Phase ( 4-7 years) The child is now able
to respond to group of objects. He can now classify
according to increasing size or in alphabet
formation.
Two (2) characteristics of the intuitive
stage of thought
1. Egocentrism- inability of the child to take the
point of view of another
2.Emphasis on successive states of a situation
rather than transformation
