Their current stage of development determines the way they interpret experiences, structure problems, and seek solutions" (Segal, M., Bardgie, B., Woika, M. J., & Leinfelder, J., 2010). jestrassburg https://padlet.com/jestrassburg/kpa0nbsyeppz/wish/120723061 2016-08-31 00:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jestrassburg/kpa0nbsyeppz/wish/120723061 Blake & Pope (2010) indicate that according to Piaget, "Cognitive structures, which are “basic, interconnected psychological systems that enable people to process information by connecting it with prior knowledge and experience, finding patterns and relationships, identifying rules, and generating abstract principles relevant in different applications,” mattered to Piaget (Blake, B. & Pope, T., 2010, p. 59). jestrassburg https://padlet.com/jestrassburg/kpa0nbsyeppz/wish/120726273 2016-08-31 01:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jestrassburg/kpa0nbsyeppz/wish/120726273 SENSORIMOTOR PHASE - (0-2 YEARS) jestrassburg https://padlet.com/jestrassburg/kpa0nbsyeppz/wish/120726709 Children "are likely to learn by using their five senses, object permanence, and
actions that are goal-directed" (Blake, B & Pope, T., 2010, p. 60). ]]> 2016-08-31 01:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jestrassburg/kpa0nbsyeppz/wish/120726709 PREOPERATIONAL PHASE - (2-7 YEARS) jestrassburg https://padlet.com/jestrassburg/kpa0nbsyeppz/wish/120727172 "The child begins to represent the world with words and images.  These words and images represent increased symbolic thinking and go beyond the connection of sensory information and physical action" (Santrock, 2013, p. ]]> 2016-08-31 01:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jestrassburg/kpa0nbsyeppz/wish/120727172 CONCRETE OPERATIONAL PHASE (7-11 YEARS) jestrassburg https://padlet.com/jestrassburg/kpa0nbsyeppz/wish/120727581 Children can reason logically.  Can classify objects concretely into different sets. (Santrock, 2013).  ]]> 2016-08-31 01:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jestrassburg/kpa0nbsyeppz/wish/120727581 FORMAL OPERATIONAL PHASE - (11 YEARS to ADULT jestrassburg https://padlet.com/jestrassburg/kpa0nbsyeppz/wish/120728081 In this phase, children and adults enter a phase in "which allows them to think logically and show lingering egocentrism" (Blake, B. & Pope, T., 2010, p. 60).

In this phase, humans shift from concrete thought to abstract thought, connecting ideas, & metacognition (Santrock, 2013).
