2 Preoperational period
3 Formal operations period
4 Concrete operations period Ans: 1
There are four periods of Piaget's theory of cognitive development. The first
period is the sensorimotor period; this period describes object permanence.
During the ages of birth to 2 years old, the child understands that objects
continue to exist even when they are not visible. The second period is the
preoperational period, which is observed in children between the ages of 2
and 7 years. During this time, children learn to think about the use of symbols
and have mental images. The third period is the concrete operations period,
which is observed between the ages of 7 and 11 years. During this period, the
child thinks about an action before performing it. The formal operations
period is the fourth period, which is observed in children from the ages of 11
years old throughout adulthood. During this period, there is a prevalence of
egocentric thought
