Heinz story: In Europe, a woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one possible drug that might save her, and it was made by a specific druggist who charged 10 times what it cost to make the drug. The woman ’ s husband, Heinz, tried to borrow money, get a loan, and sell assets, but he couldn ‘ t pull together enough money to pay for the drug. He went to the druggist and asked if the druggist would sell the drug for a lower price or if the druggist would let him pay off the drug over time. The druggist refused, and demanded full payment before he would give the drug to Heinz. Having exhausted all possible means of getting the drug legally, should Heinz break into the druggists store, and steal the drug?

Discussion Question

Using specific examples, differentiate between the thinking patterns of a 3-year-old preschooler and a 9-year-old student, according to Piaget's theory of cognitive development.

Response correctly describes that the preschooler is in Piaget’s preoperational stage and correctly describes various examples from the preoperational stage including the core idea that the preschooler is unable to perform operations (or to think logically), such as: thinking abilities that the child can do – using symbols to represent world – engaging in make-believe play – asking lots of questions to find out information or limitations of children’s thinking – Egocentricism – inability to conserve – irreversible thinking. Response also correctly describes that the 9 year-old is in Piaget’s concrete operations stage and correctly describes various examples from the concrete operations stage including the core idea that the 9 year-old cannot think abstractly (or has concrete thinking), such as: less egocentrism centration no longer occurs capable of conservation capable of reversible thinking
