Piaget Pre Operational Stage
The pre operational stage is divided into 2 sections, pre conceptual section (ages 2-4, toddler) and intuitive section (ages 4-7, pre schooler). In this stage according to Piaget (1951, 1952) children cannot fully use logic or convert, merge or disconnect ideas and despite all this are still able to play instruments and articulate their feelings toward music.

‘Gardner sees the pre-schooler’s acquisition and use of words, drawings, make believe, and other symbols as the major developmental event in the early years of childhood’ which is what Piaget describes as the sensorimotor stage however where Piaget is entirely dedicated to understanding the developing brain, Gardner believes that by looking at the brain of an adult it then can be questioned how it to got to be that way, in other words, look at the developmental part of the process.
Gardner has 2 main critiques against Piaget’s theory. The first being that Piaget has not considered that although most children seem to follow a pattern they are still individuals and not everyone will follow the pattern and the second being Piaget’s theory suggests that the way children think is a combination of nature and nurture however Gardner believed that ‘environmental variability might shape thinking’ a child’s temperament, personality overall nature has a bigger influence on how they think because what they see automatically provokes a response, thought and …show more content…
Gardner defines intelligence as “the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting” (Gardner & Hatch, 1989).
Gardner created a list of 7 signs that he believed represented intelligence which were linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, musical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, spatial intelligence, interpersonal intelligence and intrapersonal intelligence.
Due to the nature of the first two it was widely used to better students in schools, the following there new used in association with the arts and last two are described as personal
