What is egocentric thinking?
Not being able to see a situation from another person's point of view. Piaget thought that a young child assumed that other people see, hear and feel exactly the same as the child does.

The ability to solve problems providing an individual can see or physcially handle the issues involved.

What is Sensorimotor stage?
Infants think by interacting with the world using their eyes, ears, hands and mouth. A infant invents ways of solving problems. Piaget believed that a baby would not have a way of rembering and thinking about the world til they were about 18 months.
6 of 9
What is Preoperational stage?
Children use symbols to represent their earlier sensorimotor discoveries. Development of langauge and make-believe play takes place. Piaget believed that children at this stage cannot properly understand how ideas like number, mass and volume work.
7 of 9
What is Concrete Operational stage?
Children's reasoning becomes more logical providing the issues are concrete. In this stage, children may be able to understand simple logical principles.
8 of 9
What is Formal Operational stage?
This is when the capacity for abstract thinking allows adolescents to reason through symbols that do not refer to objects in the real world as is required in advanced maths. Young people also think of possible outcomes of a scientific problem.
