DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLIGENCE ACCORDING TO PIAGET'S THEORY
Piaget proposed four major stages of cognitive development, and called them (1) sensorimotor intelligence, (2) preoperational thinking, (3) concrete operational thinking, and (4) formal operational thinking.
intelligence is something that grows and develops through a series of stages.
Preoperational Stage:
Children begin to think symbolically and learn to use words and pictures to represent objects.
Children at this stage tend to be egocentric and struggle to see things from the perspective of others.
While they are getting better with language and thinking, they still tend to think about things in very concrete terms.
Concrete Operational Stage:
During this stage, children begin to thinking logically about concrete events
They begin to understand the concept of conservation, (ex): that the amount of liquid in a short, wide cup is equal to that in a tall, skinny glass
Their thinking becomes more logical and organized, but still very concrete
Children begin using inductive logic, or reasoning from specific information to a general principle
Formal Operational Stage;
At this stage, the adolescent or young adult begins to think abstractly and reason about hypothetical problems
Teens begin to think more about moral, philosophical, ethical, social, and political issues that require theoretical and abstract reasoning
Begin to use deductive logic, or reasoning from a general principle to specific information
Assimilation
The process of taking in new information into our already existing schemas is known as assimilation.
Sensorimotor Stage:
The infant knows the world through their movements and sensations
Children learn about the world through basic actions such as sucking, grasping, looking, and listening
Infants learn that things continue to exist even though they cannot be seen (object permanence)
They are separate beings from the people and objects around them
They realize that their actions can cause things to happen in the world around them
Accommodation
Accommodation involves modifying existing schemas, or ideas, as a result of new information or new experiences.
