The theory of Piaget talk about cognitive development (Discontinuous process involving distinct stages which are characterised by qualitative differences in behaviour).
Piaget divided the stage in 4 primary structures:
The Sensorimotor Stage. In this stage, infants construct an understanding of the world by coordinating sensory experiences (such as seeing and hearing) with physical, motoric actions.
The Preoperational stage.Towards the end of the second year, a qualitatively new kind of psychological functioning occurs.
The Concrete operational stage. This stage, which follows the Preoperational stage, occurs between the ages of 7 and 12 years and is characterized by the appropriate use of logic.
The formal operational period. This stage,commences at around 13 years of age (puberty) and continues into adulthood.In this stage, individuals move beyond concrete experiences and begin to think abstractly, reason logically and draw conclusions from the information available, as well as apply all these processes to hypothetical situations.
