Document Summary
Even now, we are still children; and like children, we must learn to succeed. Our thoughts about the world and people within it are our constant companion, and we think about these things in a relatively automatic way. The importance of a responsive world and linking all this back to the issue of consciousness. The notions of maturation, and the stage like (think prerequisites) nature of cognitive maturation. The importance of operations, schematics, and the processes of assimilation versus accommodation. The sensorimotor period cognition at this stage is closely tied to external stimulation, and understanding characteristics of objects classic example is object permanence. The preoperational period here the child begins learning how to think logically and how to use symbols especially language. Child still has an egocentric bias classic example is learning the notion of conservation. The period of concrete operations increased ability to perform logical operations (when concrete) and emergence of empathy.
