Explanation / Answer

The Preoperational Stage of Cognitive Development In early Childhood

             This theory is proposed by Jean Piaget. Preoperational stage is second stage in “ Piaget’s theory of cognitive development.” This stage starts at the age of 2 and ends at the age of 7.

Major Changes in children at this stage
                             At this stage children start to remember things and persons by using symbols.They also manipulate the symbols but They will not understand concrete logic and They are very good at learning language skills .Children will play roles like mummy, daddy ,police and theif etc,. Children will struggle with egocentrism

Ego Centrism

                    At this stage they will struggle with egocentrism that   they can’t understand that perspective will change in person by person.

Conservation

                   At this stage children will fail to understand the logic of conservation. If we take two same pieces of clay, Made ball shape with one piece of clay and made flat pancake with other piece. Children will think that flat pancake is bigger in size than ball shape because that looks like big.

Criticism
                   Most of the psychologists complained that jean piaget underistimated children’s cognitive capability in terms of ‘egocentrism’ and ‘conservation’.They argued that at the age of 4 children will over come those problems and they disagree with jean piaget.
