Piaget-Constructivism

Sensorimotor

Birth-2: This is the stage of when chidlren and infants observe and learn from the world around them. (98)

This video shows how a infant learns how to walk. The are observing their surroundings and she is realizing that if she uses things around her such as the couch it will support her and make it easier to walk.

Preoperational

2-7: This stage Pigot discribes how infants are limited to think logically at all times due to the different angles or views of objects. (98-99)

I chose this video to show how even though the young boy knew that the playdough had the same mass before she changed the shape, he though that one was larger than the other after she changed the shape. This is because the young boy is not able to link together that it is the same playdough from before.

Concrete

7-12: This stage allows the child to be able to think with full logic, at this stage a child is able to realize the object is stil the same even though change is happening such as an object being moved is just viewed from a different angle. (100)

Here a child is able to realize that due to a change of a cup size or the shape of a ball of playdough does not change the actual mass of the object.

Formal

12-up: Abstract thinking starts at this stage, here children link things together to from hypotheses to get an answer. (100)

This final stage keeps progressing throughout their whole life time. This stage allows one to learn and actually come to a conclusion and have an answer or a reason for everything. It plugs all of his stages together to finish off growth and development of people's lives.
