- Egocentric thinking
- Not being able to see things from another's perspective

- Swiss mountain test
- The use of symbols to represent earlier sensorimotor discoveries
- Development of language and pretend play.
- Piaget believed that children at this stage could not properly understand number, mass, and volume
- Egocentric thinking
- Concrete Operational 7-11 years
- Concrete Logical Thinking
- Ability to solve problems that can be physically seen
- Piaget believed that the ability to think logically does not happen until around the age of 7
- Children's reasoning becomes logical, providing the issues are concrete
- May need physical cues to answer logical questions
- May need visuals to be able to answer

- Some children can see things from the perspective of others
