- lack of logical framework for thought
49
Symbolic thought:

- egocentric (blanket on head, don't pass)
50
What happens in the concrete operational stage?
- use of logic
- conservation and perspective taking
- kids focused on rules, concerned with rule breaking
- better spatial awareness

51
Conservation:
- if an amount of liquid or play doh remains the same based on appearance
