Early Childhood to the Early Elementary Years: Preoperational Stage (2-7)- Children need operations (actions a person carries out by thinking them through instead of literally performing the actions). At the preoperational stage the child is moving toward mastery, but has not yet mastered mental operations.
-Ability to work with symbols, such as using the word horse or a picture of a horse to represent a horse that is not actually present-Semiotic function.
-As child moves through preoperational stage the ability to think about objects in symbols remains limited to thinking in one direction only or using one-way logic. Difficult for child to think backwards.
-Reversible thinking is involved in many tasks that are difficult for the preoperational child, such as the conservation of matter.
-Conservation is the principle that the amount or number of something remains the same even if arrangement or appearance is changed. * Ex.) pouring same amount of water into different sized glasses, when asked which glass has more water the child responds with the glass that the water goes higher in.
-Decentering- children have trouble considering more than one aspect of the situation at a
