To answer this question, address the following points, some of which are covered in detail in one of Watson's lectures:

Detail the many shifts that occur between five and seven years of age.

Talk about the cognitive characteristics of the end product, the child in the concrete operational stage.

Discuss the differences between the preschooler (age 3-5) and the school age (age 7-11) child in terms of how they think differently.

Speculate as to why this shift might or might not make children ready for school.

Are these shifts continuous, as Bandura would assert, or they discontinuous, as Piaget believed? Defend your answer.
