He created a theory describing how children understood the world in four stages. The four stages are Sensorimotor‚ Preoperational‚ Concrete Operational‚ and Formal Operations. Sensorimotor is the first step in Piaget’s theory of cognitive development the ages range from 0-2 years old. At this stage the infant’s knowledge is based on sensory perception

At every time of their lives‚ people adapt their thoughts to the experiences they have. 2.

In each pair of stages‚ development occurs in

Crying at first is reflexive but then becomes intentional. “The process of communication begins when babies begin to learn that crying can act as a signal that brings relief from whatever is bothering them because it motivates

JEAN PIAGET and THE FOUR MAJOR STAGES OF COGNITIVE THEORY The patriarch of cognitive theory was Jean Piaget(1896-1980). Piaget was a biologist‚ who became interested in human thinking while working to evaluate the results of child intelligence tests. As Piaget worked he noted the correlation between the child’s age and the type of error they made. Intrigued by the discovery that certain errors occurred predictably at certain age‚ he began to focus his time and energy
