Placing a Child at Preoperational
Captions available
The idea
A child who uses symbols freely and fails conservation is placed at the preoperational stage.
In practice
The child feeds a doll with an invisible spoon and says the taller glass now holds more water.
Where people slip
Symbolic capacity is the gain here. The name marks what is still absent rather than what has arrived.
