The Ages of Stages



Sensorimotor Stage     birth to 2 years             
Preoperational Stage   2 to 6 years
Conrete Operational    7  to 11 years
Formal Operational     12 years to adulthood

According to Jean Piaget each child enters the four stages of cognitive learning at their own pace.  A child cannot learn skills that they are not ready for and he feels this is why certain skills should not be introduced too early in education.  The child simply would not be ready to comprehend the lesson.
