  • Learns through reflexes, senses, movement
  • Symbolic thinking
  • Object permanence- Object is still there if out of sight
  • Goal-directed actions- Intentional actions towards a goal

  • Not yet mastered logical mental operations- getting there
  • Semiotic Function- Ability to use symbols to represent objects mentally (pretend play, language dvlpmt)
  • Reversible Thinking- Thinking backward (difficult) end to beginning
  • Decentering- Can focus on more than one aspect at a time (difficult, more centering thought)
  • Egocentric- Everyone sees the world like I do
  • Collective monologue- Ignoring other's views this "ego-centric" speech leads to no real interaction (vs. socialized speech- productive convo. when mature)

  • Hands-on thinking- logically stable world, mental tasks tied to objects and situations 
  • Conservation- Characteristics remain the same despite changes in appearance
    1. Identity- Person or object remains the same over time
    2. Reversibility- Identify steps, mentally reverse steps, return to start, aka Reversible thinking
    3. Classification- Group objects into categories
    • Seriation- Arrange objects in sequential order
    • Decentering- Can think focus on more than one aspect at a time

  • Use reasoning for hypothetical and abstract problems (hypothetico-deductive reasoning) thinking about thinking
  • Adolescent egocentrism- Focused on own point-of-view w/o denying others' perspective- imaginary audience
  • Coordinate variables and imagine other worlds

  • Adults and children think differently and it is inconsistent with the 4 stages. 
  • Children can be taught operations out of their "stage" and do not need to develop skills on their own. 
  • Overlooks cultural factors and differences. 
  • Denies productivity of Private Speech- Vygotsky's view that children's self-talk moves them to self-regulation, instead of being nonproductive

  • The main goal of education is to help students learn how to learn. Learning is a constructive process
  • Individuals vary in their understanding
  • Knowledge is developed by connecting with information through the use of manipulatives. "To know an object is to act on it" (Piaget, 1964, p.8).
  • Communicating with others can help students use, test, and change their thinking ability
  • Students adjust to their environment by organizing thoughts into schemes, which are basic building blocks of thinking.
  • Students adapt by Assimilation, which helps them fit something new into something they already know (associative)
  • Students also Accomodate by adjusting their existing schemes to fit new information.
  • Equilibration- balancing act of organizing, assimilating, and accommodating processes of thinking.
  • Disequilibrium- when new information feels uncomfortable in an existing scheme.
