Both the preoperational and the concrete operational stages involve an increase in the ability for reasoning. The preoperational stage (ages 2-7) marks the beginning of symbolic reasoning, while the concrete operational stage (ages 7-12) involves the ability to think logically about concrete events and objects. Animism (attributing human-like qualities to inanimate objects), centration (focusing on a single feature of an object while ignoring other relevant features), and egocentrism (difficulty understanding other people's viewpoints) are characteristics of the preoperational stage, but not necessarily the concrete operational stage.
