Explore Piaget’s concept of preoperational thought/stage at home. Among your family and friends, find a preoperational age child (ages 2-7) or a child who is older (then supposed to be at the concrete operational stage of Piaget). Ask the children to carry out some or one of the conservation tasks we discussed in class (i.e. with the liquid in different glasses or coins spread out on the table). I know that it is difficult to visit relatives or friends in this time we’re in, so it’s okay if you watch a video on youtube and describe that one, while also copying the link so that I can also check. Report your findings or what you watched in the video.
