theory of cognitive development is a theory used to analyze and understand human development and behavior. His theory is broken up into four stages: Sensorimotor‚ which lasts from 0 to 2 years of age‚ Preoperational‚ which lasts from 2 to 7 years of age‚ Concrete Operational‚ which lasts from 7 to 11 years of age‚ and lastly‚ Formal Operational‚ which the child enters at 11 years of age and stays in throughout adulthood (Santrock‚ 2010‚ p.24).

interested in child development. He came up with the famous theory of the Cognitive Stages in children through adulthood. The stages include sensorimotor‚ preoperational‚ concrete operational‚ and formal operational. The different stages apply to different age groups. For example‚ the first stage‚ sensorimotor‚ applies to children at birth through 2 years of age‚ so this would not apply to the concrete operational kids whose age level includes kids who are roughly 7-12 years old. He uses these stages to show
