Detailed explanation-1: -Preoperational Stage During this stage (toddler through age 7), young children are able to think about things symbolically. Their language use becomes more mature. They also develop memory and imagination, which allows them to understand the difference between past and future, and engage in make-believe.
Detailed explanation-2: -The second phase of Piaget’s preoperational stage, the intuitive phase, is characterized by centration and lack of reversibility. Centration is the tendency to center or focus on one part of a situation and ignore the other parts.
Detailed explanation-3: -The preoperational stage is divided into two substages: the symbolic function substage (ages 2-4) and the intuitive thought substage (ages 4-7). Around the age of 2, the emergence of language demonstrates that children have acquired the ability to think about something without the object being present.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the preoperational stage, children use symbols to represent words, images, and ideas, which is why children in this stage engage in pretend play. A child’s arms might become airplane wings as she zooms around the room, or a child with a stick might become a brave knight with a sword.
