In Piaget's theory, the stage in which infants are only aware of what is immediately in front of them (from birth to about 2 years of age).

• Formal Operational Stage

• Preoperational Stage

• Sensorimotor Stage

• Concrete Operational Stage

Piaget's fourth and final stage of cognitive development. The person can think logically, hypothetically, and in the abstract

• Preconventional Moral Reasoning

• Postconventional Moral Reasoning

• Conventional Moral Reasoning

• Formal Operational Stage

The cognitive ability to be able to recognize that quantities remain the same when two glasses of water are sitting beside each other, and one is poured into a taller glass.

• Irreversibility
• Centration
• Conservation
• Object Permanence 

A child can explain that 3x2 represents three sets of two.

• Sensorimotor

• Preoperational

• Concrete Operational

According to Piaget, during the formal operational stage people begin to:

• become aware of the positive and negative consequences of their own behaviors

According to Piaget, children come to understand that the volume of a substance remains constant despite changes in its shape during the ________ stage.

An infant who has developed object permanence...

• is attached to specific objects, such as a blanket.
• will see all objects as being the same.
• knows that an object, such as a rattle, exists even if it is not in view.

The inability of young children to see the world through someone else's view is termed:

• Centration
• Irreversibility
• Conservation
• Egocentrism

Peek-a-boo works on children in what stage?
