A 3-year-old child is in the preoperational stage of development. A child at the age of nine is in the concrete operational stage. There are some differences between…

Children think differently than adults, and therefore develop their thoughts differently. According to the psychology book, cognitive development can be described as the study of how children acquire the ability to learn, think, reason, communicate, and remember.

These four progressive stages of cognitive development are: the sensorimotor stage, the preoperational stage, the stage of concrete operations and the stage of formal…
