- It is concerned with children, rather than all learners.
It focuses on development, rather than learning per se, so it does not address learning of information or specific behaviors.
It proposes discrete stages of development, marked by qualitative differences, rather than a gradual increase in number and complexity of behaviors, concepts, ideas, etc.

Experiments
Piaget worked in stages. When they were between the ages of 1-2 he would have them draw small pictures.
As they got older (3-5) he would have them recite the alphabet.
At stage 3 he would determine reversibility.
Piaget later went on to determine that by the age of 12 the kids were able to answer questions correctly and work on their own.
