Jean Piaget - - answer✔Four Stages of Cognitive Development
Erik Erikson - - answer✔Eight Conflicts of Social and Emotional Development
According to Piaget, the four stages of cognitive development are: - answer✔Sensorimotor - 0-2
years old
Preoperational - 2-7 years old
Concrete-Operational - 7-11 years old
Formal Operations - 11 years old and older
The Preoperational Stage - answer✔During this stage, young children learn about their world
through their actions. This is one reason that hands-on learning is crucial during this stage of
development. As a caregiver, you must provide children with as many opportunities for hands-on
learning as possible.
According to Piaget, the Preoperational stage - answer✔is from ages 2-7 and is most relevant to
young children. During this stage, young children learn about their world through their actions.
Children at this age (2-7) and stage (Preoperational) - answer✔-Tend to think illogically, as they
will begin to develop logic in the
next stage, concrete-operational.
-Their thinking process is non-sequential, such as not understanding
that a small puddle was once an ice cube.
-Are egocentric, meaning that they do not perceive the
consequences of their actions upon others.
-They are beginning to understand simple concepts, e.g., to classify
large and small stack-able plastic bowls or to understand the
sequence of their daily schedule.
Piaget's theory explains - answer✔how children interact with their environment to construct
knowledge.
What are some ways you can implement developmentally appropriate practice to support the
growth of young children during this stage? - answer✔Provide open-ended, hands-on activities
so children can progress through as they develop transformation
Ask open-ended questions that encourage children to explain their thought process.
Provide a variety of activities that allow children to experience real life events (field trips, guest
speakers, show and tell).
Ask children about their own experience. For example: "Tell us about your painting."
At story time ask the children about their favorite stories, and ask the children what happens in
the stories.
Provide children with the opportunity to make choices. For example: "Which learning center
would you like to play in today?"
Erik Erikson - answer✔developed the theory that emotional development occurs through 8
stages in a person's lifetime. He proposes that individuals must go through each of the 8 stages in
a sequential order. Each stage presents a conflict that must be resolved before a person can
progress to the next stage.
Erikson
(8 letters in last name, 8 stages/conflicts) - answer✔proposes that each conflict is best resolved
during a specific stage of life. People who successfully resolve each conflict are better able to
lead a healthy, socially and emotionally connected life.
Infant (Trust vs. Mistrust) - answer✔Trust is developed over time by providing an infant with a
consistent, comforting environment.
When needs are met, trust is established.
Trust builds an emotional foundation.
A lack of trust can result in poor emotional stability
Toddler (Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt) - answer✔Toddlers need to explore their own bodies
and environment in order to become confident about themselves.
When autonomy is allowed, a person can become comfortable with his/her choices.
A lack of autonomy can result in a feeling of shame or insecurity.
Preschool (Initiative vs. Guilt) - answer✔Four- or five-year olds begin to develop an interest in
exploring beyond themselves.
