To reach each stage of cognitive development, according to the social environment and intelligence of the individual, may be the difference in age between individuals, but it is assumed that the development order is not changed. The more step increases structural psychological the previous stage are integrated, each step is increased complexity. Also, I think the cognitive structure of the individual, ranging from infant to adult, change slowly, that there is consistency in the way of thinking that will be a period of time displayed.

The developmental stage, to partition sensory-motor period (0-2 years), before manipulator (2-7 years), concrete manipulator (7-11 years), the four stages of the format operation (11 years later). Show a strong curiosity to ambient by the sensory reflex in the sensorimotor stage.
