Motor Stage
It takes place early in life between the ages of birth and
two year. The child learns about the world through the sensory perceptions and
motor interaction. Or it is a time of astonishing cognitive changes ass the
children gain a great deal of knowledge about the world around them.
C3b. Perceptional stage
•
It takes place between the ages of two and six.
• Tome
of rapid growth and development. Or children still lack the ability to mentally
manipulate information and struggle to see things from other people’s point of
view

A great deal of language development takes place
at this stage. C3c. Concrete operational
stage
•
It is between 7 and 11 years
• It
involves the emergence of more local thought. Or kids are able to think
rationally about concrete events. Or kids struggle about abstract things.
C3d. Formal operation stage
•
This stage lasts from roughly age 12 and into
adulthood.
• Children
are able to reason about abstract concepts and make systematic plans about the
future.
