Piaget’s Sensorimotor Stage The infant in this video playing with a telephone appears to be in Piaget 's theory would categorized as, the sensorimotor stage, the time frame from birth to age two (Barrouillet, 2015). This sensorimotor stage is the first phase of cognitive development in Piaget’s theory (Barrouillet, 2015). Piaget, saw this phase as one of extraordinary advancement and evolution of cognitive growth (Barrouillet, 2015). Children observe and imitate as they test their senses and motor skills. The baby in the video has seen a caregiver using the telephone, the baby is utilizing their motor skills, in addition, to imitating social performances of their caretaker talking on the telephone. As the baby fumbles with the receiver,

Formal operational stage is achieved between the ages of twelve and adulthood, developing the capacity to consider abstract concepts (Barrouillet, 2015). This stage of development is perpetual, as we grow cognitively, we hone the skills learned in the formal operational stage of developments; deductive reasoning, logical thought and systematic planning (Barrouillet, 2015). These students are at the genesis of this arduous development, additionally they will learn problem solving, learn the intricate nuances of mental manipulations and the formation of hypotheses (Barrouillet, 2015). These children will build upon their new cognitive skills throughout adulthood, developing a deeper understand and acuminating their skill set. For some individuals the development of all skills comes easy, for others, perhaps some come easier than others. Formal operational stage of development begins with the building blocks that set the foundation of …show more content…
There many observations that can be made, in the ten seconds of this clip, however, for me the most poignant is the lack of insecurity, and the abundance of exuberance of wonder. This stage of formal operational staging, these children uninterested in what divides them, such as race, or gender; they are both excited about the new thought processing abilities they are developing, as they learn to expand their mind’s with abstract concepts (Wainman, Boulton-Lewis, Walker, Brownlee, Cobb, Whiteford, & Johnsson, 2012). You can see that they are each learning from one another, they are seeing things from a new perspective. Expanding their ideas and thoughts, on the way the world is composed. Both children are engaged and asking questions, as they examine the components of the molecule they are working on. These children are embracing their laboratory education, without resistance or sectarian ideations of competition or inefficiencies on the subject of science.
Summary
Piaget’s theory of cognitive and psychosocial development from birth to adulthood is a vital tool in the understanding of human development (Barrouillet, 2015). As children reach these milestones they develop the cognitive markers needed to expand on
