What are the differences in Piaget’s Phases of Cognitive Development?
The sensorimotor phase, from birth to 2 years, is the phase in which sensory organs and muscles become more functional. The preoperational phase, from 2 to 7 years, is the phase in which the child’s ability to think emerges. The concrete operations phase, from 7 to 11 years, is the phase in which the child learns to reason about events in the here-and-now. The formal operations phase, 11+ years, is the phase in which the individual is able to see relationships and to reason in the abstract.
