Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget referred to the early childhood (ages 2 to 6) stage of cognitive development as "preoperational intelligence." This stage is characterized by the development of symbolic thought, egocentrism, and animism. Children at this stage have difficulty understanding the perspectives of others and tend to focus on their own point of view. They also struggle with conservation (understanding that an object's properties remain the same even if its appearance changes).
