First two stages of piaget’s cognitive theory
sensorimotor (From birth 18-24 months)
Object permanence
Knowing that an object still exists even after being hidden
Sub-stages
Primary Circular Reactions. The baby will repeat pleasurable actions cantered on its own body E.g (babies from 1-4 months) kicking of legs and sucking on thumb.
Secondary circular reactions it typically lasts from 4-8 months . Babies now repeat pleasurable actions that involves object as well as actions involving their own bodies . E.g shaking of rattle.
Coordination of reactions. Babies show signs of an ability to use their acquired knowledge to reach a goal.
Tertiary circular reactions. The infant now tries to put an object back together which he or she once tried taking it apart to explore
Reflex Acts (first month of life).The neonate responds to external stimulation with innate reflex action
Early symbolic thought. The babies have developed the ability to visualise things that are not physically present.
Preoperational (2 to 7 years old)
young children between 2 to 4 years old have limited thinking
Limitatiions
Animism
the thinking that all "non-living things" are capable of having "life-like" qualities , eg, non-living things are capable of having feelings , intentions!!
Egocentrism
the inability to put themselves in other's shoes , not being able to think about other's feelings! note : NOT about them being SELFISH!!
during the end of this stage, children can mentally events and objects and engage in symbolic play.
symbolic representation
the ability to make an word/object stand for something else other than itself
toddlers entering this stage will have increased memory due to their ability to store mental images.
play
children will engage in parallel play. toddlers will tend to role play with props that symbolise real world objects.
children may also invent a imaginary playmate
play in the same room with other children but play beside them instead of play with them
