Culture and Piaget's Ages
Captions available
The idea
Cross-cultural research in Bali, India and Nepal finds Piaget's sequence of stages generally holds, but the ages at which children reach them vary.
In practice
Two children in different countries reaching conservation at different ages, in the same order.
Where people slip
The misconception is that the stages start at fixed ages everywhere; the order holds broadly, and timing depends on experience.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
