The preoperational period is divided into two stages: the preconceptual stage (ages 2-4) and the intuitive stage (ages 4-7). During the preconceptual stage, children begin to use symbols to represent objects, but their thinking is still largely egocentric and they struggle with concepts such as conservation. In the intuitive stage, children become more skilled at using symbols and develop the ability to use simple logic, but still struggle with more complex concepts.
