Concrete Operations
Description
According to Piaget, intelligence develops in a necessary sequence of stages that are related to age. In this program, David Elkind uses structured interviews with children from 4 to 9 years of age to illustrate the development of transitive thinking and reversibility as boys and girls move from the preoperational to concrete operational stage of cognitive development. Children's construction of the unit concept, so basic to arithmetic and beginning reading, is illustrated in a well-run first grade class. Dr. Elkind also examines some criticisms of Piaget's theories.
