Piaget's theory of child development describes four stages, each characterized by different cognitive abilities and understandings.
1. Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years): Infants learn about the world through their senses and physical actions. They develop object permanence (the understanding that objects exist even when out of sight) and begin to imitate actions and use symbols.
2. Preoperational Stage (2-7 years): Children use symbols and language to represent objects and events. They engage in pretend play and start to think symbolically. However, they struggle with logical reasoning and have a limited understanding of others' perspectives.
3. Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years): Children become more capable of logical thought and can use mental operations to solve problems. They develop an understanding of conservation (properties remain the same even if appearance changes) and can think more systematically about concrete objects.
4. Formal Operational Stage (11 years and older): Adolescents can think abstractly and use hypothetical and deductive reasoning. They can reason about complex ideas and develop their own hypotheses. They engage in advanced problem-solving and critical thinking.
