Piaget's Cognitive Development
People demonstrate intelligence through motor activity without using symbols. Knowledge of the world is limited (but developing) because it is based on physical interactions and experiences. Children acquire object permanence (the ability to recognize that things still exist even if they are not directly visible) at approximately 7 months (memory). Physical development (mobility) allows them to gain new intellectual abilities. They have attained some symbolic (language) abilities at the end of this stage. |

Piaget's Cognitive Development
Children show intelligence through the use of symbols. Language use matures, and memory and imagination are developed, but thinking is nonlogical and nonreversible. Egocentric self-centered/self-referential thinking predominates during the period. Play is frequently parallel (side-by-side), rather than cooperative. |

Piaget's Cognitive Development
People demonstrate intelligence through logical and systematic manipulation of symbols related to concrete objects. Operational thinking develops (mental actions that are reversible). Egocentric thought diminishes. Group activity and cooperative play and projects emerge. |

Piaget's Cognitive Development
In this stage, people use symbols related to abstract concepts logically. Early in the period, there is a return to egocentric thought. Only 35% of high school graduates in industrialized countries reach this stage; many people do not think formally during adulthood. |
