The ability to arrange rods in order of decreasing/increasing size is always acquired prior to the capacity to seriate according to weight. [6] A commonly cited example of vertical décalage "can be observed between the constitution of practical or sensorimotor space and that of representative space " [ 6 ] For example, at the age of 2, a child ...

Piaget's studies of conservation led him to observe the stages which children pass through when gaining the ability to conserve. In the first stage, children do not yet have the ability to conserve. During the conservation of liquid task, children will respond that a liquid in a tall glass always has more liquid than that of a short glass; they ...
Jean Piaget's cognitive developmental theory describes four major stages from birth through puberty, the last of which starts at 12 years and has no terminating age: [11] Sensorimotor: (birth to 2 years), Preoperations: (2 to 7 years), Concrete operations: (7 to 11 years), and Formal Operations: (from 12 years). Each stage has at least two ...
