According to Piaget's theory, the concrete operational period of cognitive development occurs from around age 7 to 12 years old. During this period, children begin to understand the difference between what is real and what is imaginary, and can distinguish between fact and fantasy. This is in contrast to the preoperational period, where children may have difficulty distinguishing between reality and fantasy. The sensorimotor period occurs from birth to 2 years old and the formal operations period occurs from around age 12 to adulthood.
