Contributions: stages, assimilation/accommodation (how changes in thinking happen) Knowing the world through actions on world around them. Stages of development: sensorimotor stage (0-2 years) Gradual differentiation of self from environment: preoperational stage (2-7 years) Have representations but not able to perform operations on them. Operations = logical manipulation of representations: reversible actions. Largely in the here and now, not thinking hypothetically.
