and on) (Kalat, 2014. p.154). On this timescale, Laura has already moved passed or has at least moved passed most of the sensorimotor stage and is currently in the preoperational stage. During the sensorimotor stage, Laura had no knowledge of what object permanence was in other words she did not yet know or understand that something did not stop existing just because you did not see it. Piaget describes 3 aspects of the preoperational stage. The first is egocentrism, it basically means that the…

An interview is a way of asking open-ended questions to the intended interviewee. The goal is to gain a better understanding of the person, as the person gains an insight of what he or she is being interviewed about. For Psychology 101, the group is given the opportunity to interview three people from the ages 18 to 21. Each will be identified as person A, person B, and person C, to respect their privacy. All three were interviewed and asked similar questions. The questions asked were related to…

Formal Operational. Sensorimotor This stage is birth to around one year. In this stage infants began to see the relationship between sensations and their motor actions. They began to reach for objects, place objects in their mouths and use their body to make objects move. Around 9 months of age they learn object permanence. Preoperational This stage is from age two to around age seven. This was the one of the stages the children I observed fell into. In this stage children begin to think…

developing with the aid of physical objects stops at the age of 4 Learning-T (2014) and he does not appear to continue any emphasis on resources after this age. In my opinion, the use of stimulants is often very useful, even far past the age of 4. I, myself, still find the likes of counters and blocks helpful when doing mathematics, as it often depends on the type of learner one is. Alternatively to Piaget’s idea, Bruner has been know to promote the use of objects throughout education, and…

sensorimotor stage, infants from birth to two years old focus on the here and now. In this stage, children lack object permanence, which is when children are able to figure out that objects do not simply disappear if they cannot see them anymore. Instead, their experiences rely on their…

Piaget, a man of the high regard in the developmental word. He devoted his life to studying how children grow and develop. In what stages different habits and traits are expressed and what to call these stages. Piaget’s theory is that a child develops by learning through their environment, and once they meet the max of one stage they directly move to the next. To test these (however biased the test were) he came up with a series of experiments to show. I ran these test and here are my findings.…

In life a person proceeds through several changes to become the person they are today. These changes are called stages which change us physically and mentally. The first change that people go through is early childhood development. Childhood development is the growth of a human from birth to 17 years old. Several psychologists research the process of childhood and conclude their own ideas on the subject. Jean Piaget, Eric Erickson, and Lawrence Kohlberg are three psychologists who had similar…

stage, from birth to about two years of age, is sensorimotor. During this stage a child experiences the world through their senses and actions, such as touching, mouthing and seeing. During the sensorimotor stage the developmental phenomena includes object permanence, which is the the awareness that something still exists even when it can’t be seen, and stranger anxiety, when an infant fears an a stranger and seeks the comfort of their parent. The second stage, from age two to six or seven years…

Despite being flawed, Piaget made exceptional contributions to the outlook we have on sensorimotor stages. He outdid those of his time, as most brilliant people who make history do, and his research paved an outline for others to do additional research on. Without the fundamentals of Piaget’s theories we may not have built upon the knowledge of these stages quite as quickly nor as proficiently. The stages of development Piaget recognized led to progression in the way we educate children, and led…

Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory is a standard theory in the field of psychology used to describe how people grow and change with regards to personal reasoning skills. According to the text, Piaget’s cognitive development theory is the “principle that from infancy to adolescence, children progress through four qualitatively different stages of intellectual growth” (Belsky, 2012, p. 22) The four stages (occurring during childhood) developed by Piaget are: Sensorimotor, Preoperations,…
