Answer to Question 1

The ability to form and use signs and symbolswords, gestures, images, sounds, and so onis a major accomplishment of the preoperational period and moves children closer to mastering the mental operations of the next stage. The ability to work with signs and symbols is called semiotic function. It involves imitating actions and sounds, engaging in symbolic play, drawing representations of things, and creating mental images. During the preoperational stage, we also see the rapid development of that very important symbol system, language. Between the ages of 2 and 6, most children enlarge their vocabulary from about 200 to 20,000 words. The development of the semiotic system of language opens more possibilities for thinking, remembering, planning, and problem solving.
