Piaget – overview
studied development of genitive processes from child-adulthood, often talked about correlation between cognitive and language skills.

Sensorimotor Stage
1st stage of 4; Piaget believed children learned language in 4 stages, Sensorimotor lasts until child is 2 years old, focused on movement and physical reactions, small babies don’t realize they can control their own bodies, play is based on figuring out how to perform basic motor activities. Then complex tasks like crawling and walking. Starts experimenting what they can do with their mouth, learns how to imitate sounds care givers make

Preoperational Stage
Begins at around 2 years, last till about 6 years. Defining feature – egocentricity; the child seems to talk constantly, but talks about things that do not need to be said out loud. Describing what they are doing, though it is easily visible. Child shows no awareness that others may have a viewpoint/opinion. Piaget sees little distinction at this stage of development between talking with others and thinking aloud.

Concrete Operational Stage
Begins at 7, ends around 11; child is capable of using logic & solving problems in the form of stories, providing the story deals with facts, and not theories and concepts. Language at this stage is used to refer to specific and concrete facts rather than mental concepts. Piaget believes some people remain in this stage for the remainder of their live.

Formal Operational Stage
begins at 11-12 earliest; ; the child can start to use abstract reason to make mental distinction between themselves and an idea they are considering, at this stage children learn to express and debate theories and different concepts, like maths, philosophy & logic.

Piaget believed that these four stages of cognitive and linguistic
development were universal, no children ever skipped any of the four steps.
