31
What kind of thinking occurs in the sensorimotor stage?
Preverbal; progress from inborn reflexive actions to combining acts to solve simple problems
32
What kind of thinking occurs in the preoperational stage?
Prelogical; children learn to use language and symbols (semiotic functioning), problem solving is intuitive rather than logical/rational, and analytic thinking poorly developed
33
What kind of thinking occurs in the concrete operational stage?
Logical; child is able to conceptualize world from an external point of view, can only solve problem if elements are physically present
34
What kind of thinking occurs in the formal operational stage?
Abstract; comprehension of purely abstract or symbolic content; development of advanced logical operations
35
What specific "skill" occurs in sensorimotor stage?
object permanence
