According to Piaget, the infant is in the first period of development, which is characterized by sensorimotor intelligence. According to Piaget, children ages 7 to 11 are in the concrete opera-tions period of development, which is characterized by having the ability to perform mental op-erations, while children ages 2 to 7 are in the preoperational period of development, which is characterized by the child learning to think with the use of symbols and mental images. Identity versus role confusion is a developmental stage (puberty) according to Erikson.
