		The cognitive structure during the concrete operational stage (8-11 years) is logical but depends upon concrete referents.
		While the stages of cognitive development identified by Piaget are associated with characteristic age spans, they vary for every individual.
		Learning materials and activities should involve the appropriate level of motor or mental operations for a child of given age; avoid asking students to perform tasks that are beyond their currrent cognitive capabilities.

	Jean Piaget - RecipeFacts (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Each stage is characterized by a general cognitive structure that affects all of the child's thinking (a structuralist view influenced by philosopher Immanuel Kant).
		Development from one stage to the next is thus caused by the accumulation of errors in the child's understanding of the environment; this accumulation eventually causes such a degree of cognitive disequilibrium that thought structures require reorganising.
		The ages normally given for the stages, then, reflect when each stage tends to predominate, even though one might elicit examples of two, three, or even all four stages of thinking at the same time from one individual, depending upon the domain of knowledge and the means used to elicit it.

		Concrete operations allow children to coordinate several characteristics rather than focus on a single property of an object.
		One primary difference between formal operational thought and concrete operational thought (the stage that Piaget places before formal operational thought) is the degree of abstractness the adolescent can handle (Muuss, 1996).
		Where before, in concrete operational stage, it would be necessary to see concrete examples to solve certain problems, the formal operational thinker can solve them merely by hear the verbal presentation.

		Concrete operational children (from about age 7 to about age 12), on the other hand, can mentally manipulate objects or ideas - as long as these are concretely present or at least directly recalled from memory.
		For example, all intellectually mature adults are capable of formal operational thinking, but many of them tend to approach problems (such as the national economy, a marital argument, or an automotive malfunction) at a concrete operational level.
		The stages are merely broad categories that describe the ways in which learners assimilate and accommodate information and the level of abstraction that is likely to be typified by their structures.

		The theory is considered "constructivist", meaning that, unlike nativist theories (which describe cognitive development as the unfolding of innate knowledge and abilities) or empiricist theories (which describe cognitive development as the gradual acquisition of knowledge through experience), it asserts that we construct our cognitive abilities through self-motivated action in the world.

		Sensorimotor Stage (birth - 2 yrs.): discovers environment through sensory input and develops motor skills to interact with environment; "object permanence" is awareness that objects still exist even when out of sight.
		Concrete Operational Stage (7 - 11 yrs.): begins development of organized, logical thought when related to concrete objects as opposed to abstract reasoning; mastery of concepts of conservation and reversibility.
		Children in the concrete operational stage struggle with abstraction, and perform best when presented with concrete objects (actual physical "things" they can touch or see).

	Funderstanding - Piaget
		This is the stage where a child does not know that physical objects remain in existence even when out of sight (object permanance).
		Concrete operations (ages 7-11)--As physical experience accumulates, the child starts to conceptualize, creating logical structures that explain his or her physical experiences.
		If the experience is a repeated one, it fits easily--or is assimilated--into the child's cognitive structure so that he or she maintains mental "equilibrium." If the experience is different or new, the child loses equilibrium, and alters his or her cognitive structure to accommodate the new conditions.

		During concrete operations children begin to understand numbers, space, and classification, and they apply logical operations to concrete problems; thinking is bound to the concrete.
		The formal operational stage is characterized by being able to think abstractly, hypothesize, generalize, reason and form different standpoints, and develop ideals.
		They are currently in the end of the concrete operational and moving into the formal operational though and this is probably why there is so much overlap from the concrete to the formal operational stages.

		The basic utility of a stage "theory" of development is to identify qualitatively distinguishable milestones in development.
		Jean Piaget has identified the following sequence of stages in cognitive development: the sensori-motor stage, the pre-operational stage, the concrete operational stage, and the formal operational stage.
		In a sense, this was inevitable, since he was seeking to determine the genesis of formal operations.
