Preschool Caterpillar Color Matching-2

DEVELOPMENT OF NUMBER CONCEPT IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Piaget stated that children cannot use numbers meaningfully until they reach the concrete operational period around the age of 7. Gelman emphasized that, contrary to Piaget, the failure of preschool children in the conservation task was not due to the lack of information, but rather from the lack of other action schemes such as recall from memory and hand-eye coordination.
Gelman found that the ability to count in children aged three and older is dependent on some counting principles that arise spontaneously and both guide and stimulate the child’s developing counting skill.
