Constructivism

Piaget's theory of cognitive development consists of 4 stages: the sensorimotor period from birth to age 2 where children learn through senses and motor skills; the preoperational period from ages 2 to 7 where language grows and symbolic thought emerges; the concrete operational period from ages 7 to 11 where children gain conservation abilities; and the formal operational period from 11 on where scientific reasoning and abstract thought develop.
