In the preoperational stage, children lack the cognitive abilities necessary for understanding abstract principles, cause and effect, mental operations, and reversibility.
Children are egocentric or unable to imagine another’s point of view.
Children cannot grasp the concept of conservation.
By the concrete operations stage, they still cannot think abstractly, but they have acquired all the other abilities and they are less egocentric.
In particular, they have acquired the concept of conservation.
