       • The second stage of cognitive development according to Piaget appears more or less between two and seven years.
       • People who are in the preoperational phase begin to gain the ability to put themselves in the place of others, act and play following fictitious roles and use objects of a symbolic nature.
       • However, egocentricity remains very present in this phase, which translates into serious difficulties in accessing thoughts and reflections of a relatively abstract kind.
