Comparison: Piaget & Vygotsky
- PIAGET
- THEORIES
- There are four stages of cognitive
development that all children go through:
Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete
Operational and Formal Operational
- Sensorimotor: Ages 0 - 2 years. Schemes are based on behaviours and
perceptions. At this age children mostly only think about things that are in front of
them, concentrating on what they are seeing and doing at that very instant.
- Preoperational: Ages 2 - 7 years. Children are now able to talk about and think
about things that are beyond their immediate experience. children in this stage
still have trouble seeing things from another persons point of view.
- Concrete Operational: Ages 7 - 11. Children are now able to see things from another
persons point of view as well as being able to classify objects to categories.
- Formal Operations: Ages 11 - Adult. Develops the ability of abstract thinking
and to think outside themselves. Able to think about issues affecting society
- Sensorimotor: Ages 0 - 2 years. Schemes are based on behaviours and
perceptions. At this age children mostly only think about things that are in front of
them, concentrating on what they are seeing and doing at that very instant.
- There are four stages of cognitive
development that all children go through:
Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete
Operational and Formal Operational
- NEGATIVES

the effects ones cultural background and social group had on development.
