At what stage can students begin to think abstractly? Formal Operational Stage 7. Can we play a game of peek-a-boo with a child in Preoperational Stage? Why or why not? No, because in this stage of development the child is no longer limited to just knowledge from senses, and is starting to gain basic logic. 8. At what AGE might children begin to understand timbre, tempo, pitch, or harmony? 6-11 9. How does Jerome Bruners Theory of Child Development differ from Piagets Theory? Bruners theory deals more with the type of information required for a child to learn. 10. Brunners three modes of representation are Enactive, Iconic, and Symbolic.
