Detailed explanation-1: -The preoperational stage occurs from 2 to 6 years of age, and is the secondstage in Piaget’s stages of cognitive development. Throughout most of the preoperational stage, a child’s thinking isself-centered, or egocentric.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ages: 2-7 Years The pre-operational stage is one of Piaget’s intellectual development stages. It takes place between 2 and 7 years. At the beginning of this stage the child does not use operations, so the thinking is influenced by the way things appear rather than logical reasoning.

Detailed explanation-3: -Piaget noted that children at the beginning of this stage do not yet understand concrete logic, cannot mentally manipulate information, and are unable to take the point of view of other people, which he termed egocentrism.

Detailed explanation-4: -• Formal operational stage (11 years and older) They begin to refine language and understand symbolic concepts and make up their own games.
