This is known as theory-of-mind (TOM). Piaget’s third stage is the concrete operational stage, which occurs from about 7 to 11 years old. In this stage, children can think logically about real (concrete) events; they have a firm grasp on the use of numbers and start to employ memory strategies.
In early childhood (2–6 years of age) children no longer rely on the senses to understand their world, they gain symbolic thought, where an object or word can stand for something else.
