Join us as we journey through the fascinating world of cognitive development in children, guided by the pioneering work of Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget.
In this enlightening video, we break down each of Piaget's four stages of cognitive development: the Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and Formal Operational stages. Each stage reveals unique ways in which children comprehend and interact with their surroundings.
Whether you're a student diving into the depths of developmental psychology, an educator seeking a better understanding of your students, or a parent aiming to foster your child's cognitive growth, this lecture offers valuable insights into the intricacies of cognitive development.
We'll cover:
Sensorimotor Stage (Birth - 2 Years): Explore how infants interact with their world through sensory experiences and manipulation of objects.
Preoperational Stage (2 - 7 Years): Discover the emergence of symbolic play and language development, along with the limitations of egocentrism and conservation.
Concrete Operational Stage (7 - 11 Years): Understand how children start thinking logically about concrete events and begin to grasp the concept of reversibility.
Formal Operational Stage (12 Years and Up): Learn about the capacity for abstract and hypothetical thinking that emerges in adolescence.
Remember, theories like Piaget's provide a guide to understanding and supporting cognitive development, even as we appreciate the individual differences that make every child unique.
