Intellectual development
Sensorimotor stage: from birth to about 18 months
learning through senses
Pre-operational stage: from 18 months to about 7 years
when symbols and rules become importants
Concrete operational stage: between 7 years and 12 years
thought experiments become a possibility but still limited by the present world and how its is
Formal operational stage: 12 years and above
thoughts are governed by logical reasoning / cause and effect are considered
