Piaget did not believe that intelligence was a fixed trait. Jean’s theory was divided into three stages. Stage one, the Sensorimotor: Intelligence in action: child interacts with the environment by shaping objects from ages 0-2 years old . Stage two- Pre-operational: Pre-conceptual- is ages 2-4 years old. Intuitive is ages 4-7 years old.
