Concrete Operations Stage

Concrete Operations Stage

Between the ages of 7 and 11, most humans are in this stage (the third one) of Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. Children in this stage are able to use logic to understand things they have seen and heard, but they are not yet able to understand things they have never experienced themselves. [Comparing the brain to a computer: the child can store, retrieve, and process data, but only data that has been received directly through the senses.] [LJ] {PD}
