Cognitive Stages For Child Development

There are different stages of cognitive development among children. During the first 24 months of the child’s life, the main emphasis is on the sensory motor development. This covers the reflexive period when the child is in the age group of 0 to 2 months. They are alert, and they only have reflexive instincts.

Some of the other cognitive development stages are primary circular reactions like opening and closing their fingers and so on. Towards 2 years, they are more capable of discovering new ways and thinking of new ideas.

The next stage is the preoperational period where a child is in the age group of 2 to 7 years. During this period, the child uses more vocabulary, has a good memory, speech becomes very clear and they can also express their emotions through speech. They also have moral values and ethics.

The next stage in cognitive child development is the period of concrete operations. This is typically between 7 and 12 years of age. They are very logical at this age and use it for most of their conversations. They can also solve problems related to personal aspects and can reason their results.

After 12 years it is called the period of formal operations. From here on every child uses their own perception and understanding to develop logic. Children can come up with their own logic at this age.

These are the different stages of cognitive development. The above stages are further divided into age groups for clearer understanding.
