Piaget's Concrete Operational Stage
Captions available
The idea
In Piaget's concrete operational stage, roughly ages seven to eleven, children reason logically about concrete objects and events.
In practice
A child now conserves, classifies, and reverses operations mentally when real objects are involved.
Where people slip
Logical reasoning here is tied to the concrete. Hypothetical premises are still difficult.
