Pre-operational Stage | Stage 2 of Piaget's Universal Stages of Development; age 2-7; symbolic thinking; children are still egocentric |
Concrete Operational Stage | Stage 3 of Piaget's Universal Stages of Development; age 7-11; this is a major turning point bc it marks the beginning of logical, operational thought (e.g., they can figure things out in their head); conservation occurs in this stage |
