The stages of Cognitive Development from the Piagetian point of view are the


Sensorimotor Stage (birth to two years of age), the preoperational stage (2 to 7


years), Concrete Operational stage (7 to 11 years) and finally the formal


operational stage (11 years and up)


? Senseorimotor Stage- which is from birth to two years of age. This stage


involves learning to respond through motor activity to the array of stimuli that


are a part of the senses. This primary stage is split into 6 substages.


1. Stage One (0-1 month) this is where infants begin to use and develop their


reflexes. For example the baby will try to suck on any object that is in or


around its mouth.


2. Stage Two (1-4 months) where the newborn repeats circular reactions. These


reactions are things like thumb sucking, things that have to do with the infant?s


body.


3. Stage Three (4-8 months) this is where Secondary circular reactions take


place. These secondary reactions are effects that the child sees and enjoys. An


example of secondary circular reactions would be when a child shakes a rattle;


he/she hears the noise from inside the toy and enjoys the sound.


4. Stage Fo

ur (8-12 months) this stage is called purposeful coordination of


secondary schemes. This particular stage is where the baby?s behavior has more


of a meaning and purpose. Where the motor skills and sensory skills start to


come together. This is a very active where the baby starts to crawl across the


room and grabbing toys.


5. Stage Five (12-18 months) this certain stage is named Tertiary Circular


reactions. This is where the child begins using trial and error, to try to learn


new and different things. An example of this would be if a child were to touch a


hot stove, through trial and error he/she will learn that the stove will burn


them and to not touch it again.


6. Stage Six (18-24 months) this is the mental solution where the toddler


begins to think and solve problems in their own way. This is also where some


extensive language skills just begin to evolve.


? Preoperational Stage- this is mainly the mental stage which involves much


thought and logic. They deal with this deep thought process through using


symbolic thinking. Trying to visualize what they want to do through pictures in


their heads. This also is a very important time where language and communication


will take place.
