Piaget’s theory of cognitive development has four stages. The first stage of cognitive development is the sensorimotor stage which characterizes the way infants, from ages 0-2, learn through their senses. During this stage, object permanence begins to develop within four to nine months. Which is the ability to realize that objects are still there even if they are hidden. The second stage, preoperational, begins to develop from ages 2-5. Within this stage, children start to develop symbolic, animistic and egocentric thinking. In the third stage, concrete operational (ages 6-11), children begin to understand the concept of conservation and is able to perform mental operations on real objects/events. The last stage of Piaget’s …show more content…
The first stage begins at infancy with the crisis of trust vs mistrust. The second stage, autonomy vs shame and doubt (ages 2-4), asks “if it’s ok to be me.” The third stage, initiative vs guilt (ages 4-5), is the stage of exploration and if it’s ok to do certain things like move and act. The fourth stage, industry vs inferiority (ages 5-12), focuses on school and their competence in the world. The fifth stage, identity vs role confusion (age 13-19), is also the adolescent stage where individuals will search for their identity. The sixth stage, intimacy vs isolation (young adulthood), focuses on intimate relationships and if it’s ok to love and be loved. The seventh stage, generativity vs stagnation (adulthood), begins to focus more on things like careers, families, communities, and how to make your life count. The last stage, integrity vs despair (old age), is a reflective stage that questions if your life was …show more content…
In middle school, I started playing piano again, after quitting at a young age because I didn’t practice. A couple months later, I found that I liked playing the piano but I still disliked to practice. However, a couple years later I came to like practicing the piano because it gave me something to do and kept me busy when I had nothing else to do. In school, I found out that I was neither good or bad at taking tests because if it was a subject that I liked I would ace the test, but if it was something I didn’t like I would still get an average grade as long as I thoroughly studied for that subject. Sometime during middle school, I received a gift from my aunt. It was this cute three dimensional rabbit charm that I absolutely fell in love with and obsessed over. This gift eventually led me to start making these three dimensional charms and craft other various things. At first, I had no clue how to make these at all, but eventually with a lot of research and an accidental visit to a Japanese book store, I found out how to make them. The first charm that I made was a bear, and comparing it to the ones I can make today, it was shoddy
