Need help preparing for the Psych/Soc section of the MCAT? MedSchoolCoach expert, Ken Tao, will teach everything you need to know about the concrete operational stage of Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development. Watch this video to get all the MCAT study tips you need to do well on the psychology section of the exam! The third stage of Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development is the concrete operational stage, which ranges from the age of seven to 11. During this stage, children are capable of thinking logically about concrete, or real, events but aren’t able to understand abstract logic. This logical reasoning includes the understanding of conservation and transformations, which is a concept that children in the preoperational stage do not understand. An example of conservation is the conservation of liquids. A child is presented with two glasses that are the same shape and hold the same amount of water. When asked how the amount of water in these two glasses compare, children in both the preoperational and concrete operational stages are able to say that both glasses hold the same amount of liquid. The child is then presented with a third glass that is narrower with a smaller diameter. The liquid from one of the original two glasses is poured into this narrower glass, and due to its smaller diameter, the liquid will rise up to a higher level. When asked how the amount of water in the glasses compare, children in the preoperational stage will say that there is more liquid in the narrow glass than in the original glass because the liquid in the narrow glass is higher. However, children in the concrete operational stage recognize that the glasses hold the same amount of liquid, despite their differences in liquid height. Another example of conservation is conservation of number. Initially, there are a number of coins spread out into two lines. The coins are spaced out evenly, and the experimenter asks the children if one of the lines has more coins than the other. Children in both the preoperational and concrete operational stages can say that both rows have the same number of coins. The experimenter then takes one of the two lines of coins and spreads the coins out. There is no change in the number of coins in this row, and the experimenter asks the children again if one of the lines has more coins than the other. Children in the preoperational stage will think this row now has more coins than the other row just because it is longer. However, children in the concrete operational stage recognize that there is no difference in the number of coins in the lines. While children in the concrete operational stage can understand conservation and transformations, they are not yet capable of understanding abstract logic, which appears in the formal operational stage.
