Piaget's stages include Sensorimotor stage (birth to 2 years), Preoperational stage (2 to 7 years), Concrete operational stage (7 to 11 years) and Formal operational stage (11 years and beyond). Cognitive development at sensorimotor stage is characterised by goal directed behaviour, object permanence, mental representation, cause and effect relationship and coordinated space.

Cognitive development at preoperational stage is characterised by Transductive reasoning, Animism, Artificialism, Egocentrism, Symbolic
