Piaget was born on August 9, 1896 in Neuchatel Switzerland. He was the first of three of Arthur and Rebecca Jackson.

He found that there are some children that may move fast through a stage than other children. First stage is from birth to two years old, called “sensorimotor period” (Molnar, 2006), in that stage children are starting to develop their motor reflexes. Stage two is from ages two to ages six or seven. This stage is called “pre-Operational period” (Molnar, 2006), during this stage is when children start to use mental imagery and language. Stage three takes place from the ages six/ seven to eleven/ twelve. It’s called the “Concrete Operational stage” (Molnar, 2006) during this stage is when Piaget realized that children are able to see things from other people’s point of view. The final stage is called “Formal Operational Stage” (Molnar, 2006) it takes place from eleven or twelve to all the way to adulthood. People during this stage are able to think logically and abstractly as well.
