Question

Allison is in Piaget's preoperational stage of development. She is asked to explain how she knows something. She says, "I just know." This is an example of what Piaget referred to as _____.

Answer 1

Intuitive thought

Explanation:

Intuitive thought is part of Piaget's developmental theory. It is a type of thinking style like a concentration in children. It is the sub-stage of developmental theory. In this stage, children are advance in their cognitive skills.

For example, children will change their thinking pattern such as magical thinking into rational thinking. At this stage, children start to develop a dual relationship between two objects. So that in the above context Allison know something and says I just know is an example of an Intuitive stage of thinking in the child developmental theory of Piaget.
