Piaget identified four cognitive stages of development: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational.

The sensorimotor stage occurs from birth to around 2 years old, during which infants learn about the world through their senses and actions. An example of this stage is when a baby learns to grasp objects and understand object permanence, realizing that an object still exists even when it is out of sight.

The preoperational stage occurs from around 2 to 7 years old, during which children develop language and the ability to think symbolically. An example of this stage is when a child engages in pretend play and begins to understand the concept of conservation, such as realizing that the amount of liquid in a tall, thin glass is the same as in a short, wide glass.

The concrete operational stage occurs from around 7 to 11 years old, during which children begin to think logically about concrete events and understand conservation and mathematical transformations. An example of this stage is when a child can understand the concept of reversibility, such as understanding that 3 + 4 equals 7 and 7 - 4 equals 3.

The formal operational stage occurs from around 12 years old and continues into adulthood, during which individuals develop the ability to think abstractly and reason hypothetically. An example of this stage is when a teenager can think about possibilities and hypothetical situations, such as considering different career paths and their potential outcomes.
