Piaget’s stages of
cognitive
development

Jean Piaget
• Schema

Basic cognitive • Assimilation


concepts • Accommodation
• Equilibrium
• Conservation
Schema- refers to cognitive structures by
which individuals intellectually adapt to and
organize their environment.
First time seeing a dog Second time seeing a
dog
Assimilation- is the process of fitting a new
experience into an existing or previously
created cognitive structure or schema.
Child sees a small dog for the first
time
Accommodation- is the process of
creating a new schema.
e.g. If a child sees another animal that
looks a little bit like a dog, but somehow
different.
Equilibration- is the achieving of proper
balance between assimilation and
accommodation. When our experiences do not
match our schemata (plural of schema) or
cognitive structure, we experience cognitive
disequilibrium
piaget’s Stages of
cognitive
development
Stage 1. Sensori- motor
stage
The stage when a child who is
initially reflexive in grasping, sucking
and reaching becomes more
organized in his movements and
activity.

Object permanence- refers to the Birth to


ability of the child to know that an infancy
object still exist even when out of
Stage 2. pre-operational stage

At this stage the child can now


make mental representation
2-7 and is able to pretend, the
years
old child will now ever closer to
the use of symbols
• Symbolic Function- is the ability to
represent objects and events. A symbol is a
thing that represents somethings else.
• Egocentrism- is the tendency of the
child that everyone has his same point of
view. The child cannot take the
perspective of others.
e.g. Imagine a kid who cannot understand
why his cousin call his father “uncle” and
not daddy.
• Centration- refers to the tendency of the
child to only focus on one aspect of a
thing or event and exclude other aspects.

• Irreversibility- Pre-optional children still


have the inability to reverse their
thinking. They can understand that 2+3 is
5, but cannot understand that 5-3 is 2.
• Animism- is the tendency of children to
attribute human like traits or characteristics to
inanimate objects.

e.g. When at night, the child is asked, where the


sun is, she will reply, “Mr. Sun is asleep”.
Stage 3. concrete-
8-11 years operational stage.
old

This stage is characterized by the


ability of the child to think
logically but only in terms of
concrete object.
• Decentering-refers to the ability of the
child to perceive the different features
of objects and situations. No longer is
the child focused or limited to one
aspect or dimension. This allows the
child to be more logical when dealing
with concrete objects and situation.
• Reversibility- During the stage of concrete
operations, the child can now follow that
certain operations can be done in reverse.
• Conservation- is the ability to know
that certain properties of objects like
number, mass, volume, or area do not
change even if there is a change in
appearance.

The children progress to attain


conservation abilities gradually being
a pre-conserver, a transitional thinker
and then a conserver.
• Seriation- refers to the
ability to order or arrange
things in a series based on
one dimension such as
weights, heights, volume or
size.
Stage 4. formal
operational stage
In the final stage of formal
operations, they can now solve
abstract problems and can
hypothesize. 12-15 years old
• Hypothetical Reasoning- is the ability to
come up with different hypothesis about a
problem and to gather and weigh data in
order to make a final decision or judgement.

This can be done in the absence of concrete


objects. The individuals can now deal with
“What if” questions.
• Analogical Reasoning- is the ability to
perceive the relationship in one instance and
then use that relationship to narrow down
possible answer in another similar situation
or problem. The individual in the formal
operational stage can make an analogy.
Thank you for your
attention!
Not every ending is the end of
every journey but the beginning of
another story.
