Developmental Theory in Overview
Curiously, the pre-Concrete Operations child often holds divergent
and contradictory feelings and beliefs without any inherent sense of
the contradiction. It is only with the attainment of concrete thinking
that the child can begin to spontaneously reconcile the two in an effort
to build a coherent sense of the world (Bradmetz & Schneider, 1999).
The Concrete Operations child’s cognitive leaps are largely restricted
to immediate, here-and-now objects and events. Application of these
and related skills to abstract, anticipated, or hypothetical events devel-
ops only later.
