Piaget's Stages
Captions available
The idea
Piaget described four stages, sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational, taken in a fixed order, none skipped, each transforming and incorporating the last.
In practice
Roughly birth to two, two to seven, seven to eleven, and eleven onward.
Where people slip
The ages are approximate averages; the order, not the timing, is the theory's firm claim.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
