1.) During the preoperational period, the child development changes from sensory to language. This is where the child develops almost all of their speech skills they’ll use throughout the rest of their lives. The child in this period learns through play, they only see and believe what they want and how they interpert it. They learn new skills through watching and intimidating other people. They will also use one object to represent a totally different object such as using a stick as a gun.

2.) The only way to tell if a child has transitioned from preoperational to concrete operational is by observing and interviewing the child. At this stage most children are beginning school, the child now uses language to direct their activities and activities of others. The child is now able to see other’s point of view versus just what they want to believe.

3.) During the beginning of the preoperational period the child’s schemata turns to preconcerts. The child’s preconcerts may be overgeneralized or over-discriminated. When the child sees an object that resembles an object they have seen previously they categorize these two together which is overgeneralizing the objects. For example if the child where to see a cat and a fox they would put the two into the same category with each other. When a child sees a doctor outside of the clinic setting they will be weary of the person because of this, this is over-discrimination.

4.) By late preoperational period the child now has groups that have similarities in their mind. The child now starts to group things like round things together and furry things together. The child now associates a dog with barking and kitty with a cat. They group the dog and the cat into one big group as animals now.

Identify the cognitive characteristics of the preoperational.

The preoperational stage is the second stage in Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. This stage begins around age two and lasts until approximately age seven. During this period, children are thinking at a symbolic level but are not yet using cognitive operations. The child’s thinking during this stage is pre (before) operations.

Identify the cognitive characteristics of the concrete operational child.

The concrete operational stage is the third stage in Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. This period lasts around seven to eleven years of age, and is characterized by the development of organized and rational thinking.

Describe the basic preoperational concepts children develop during this phase of cognitive development.

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.

Explain how children develop their understanding of these preoperational concepts.

Preoperational (ages 2–6 years) periods. In the sensori-motor period, children learn to coordinate and repeat actions which are pleasurable. They begin to understand that symbols (words) can represent objects or events and to comprehend the concept of object permanence, meaning that objects continue to exist, even when not visible. In the preoperational period, language becomes the hallmark of development. Children begin to engage in pretend play
