Also a Nursing student, great mnemonics. Couldn't help but make my sentence " Start Preschool before Classes and Fraternization" helps me match the ages. Your website is a study tool we share with others a lot.
PIAGET'S LUNCH: SOP aka Soup: Sensorimotor Object Permanence PMTCEA aka Pimento Cheese Sandwich: Preoperational Magical Thinking Conservation of Energy, Assimilation COLTA FOAT aka Coke Float: Concrete Operations Logical Thinking, Accommodation-------Formal Operations Abstract Thinking. Michael this one help me A LOT....I came up with this....feel free to use it......:)
Thanks for this video! Also, an acronym sentence I made on the spot for *SPCF* is *Some Penguins Can Fly.* Hope it helps anyone struggling to remember the order :)
At first I was like "oh my god this guy is crazy what is he doing with motorcycles" and now I actually know all of the information I need for my test. Thank you so much kind sir. I'm sorry I doubted you.
This works also very well for non-native speakers. A visual with the words. Also, the sillier the better, if it makes me smile then it is all worth it. Tests are hard and nerve wrecking as it is. Thank you Mr. Britt!
I have never tried this method of learning before and it works great! I use your videos for MCAT studying and I really have to thank you, Mr. Britt, for easing the stress of having to memorize so many concepts meaninglessly and painfully.
I just want to thank you so much! I hadn't studied Piaget's stages and thought I would never learn them in time but this really worked! I must say I was doubtful at first, but I'm sure I will never forget them now. Thank you so much, you are amazing!
I was studying more about these development stages and from the knowledge that I acquired, the "law of conservation" comes under stage 3 and not stage 2. Would you pls. confirm?
This was so helpful to me! I hope you know I literally tell everyone about your videos and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I can't get the idea of four males with abs out of my head... THANK YOU!
its crazy how i crammed everything here,like i still remember all the objects that were shown in every stage like i remember everythinn,ill come back and give an update after my test on MOnday
SCPF - (imma take one that I read on here, thanks!) some people can’t function Sensorimotor - there is a pair of ants (permanence) crawling on a motorcycle. Pair = 2 so 0-2 years of age. The motorcycle have buns for wheels. Preoperational - a preacher is running away from a rabbit in a hat (magical thinking), Smokey the bear (conservation), and a donkey/Ass (assimilation). He runs away from them for 2- 7 years, no one really knows exactly. The preacher is wearing shoes. Concrete operations - there’s concrete in the lodge (logical thinking) that accommodates you. You live in that lodge from 7 to 11 years old. The lodge is in a forest of trees For the winter formal, guys want abs. You only want abs from 11 years on to wow them ladies. You walk through a big door for the winter formal
I wish I would have found you at the beginning of my bio/psych course!! I have a final tomorrow, and this stuff is exactly what I need to imprint in my old brain!!! God bless you for taking the time to do this for all of us!!! You are GREAT!!!!! I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE ANT'S!! That is my nickname! : )
hahahaha, Well that would certainly be interesting!! People in class will be wondering why I am laughing during my exam!! LOL I am thoroughly enjoying all your videos! I will continue to follow you, I am coming back to school at, well let's just say, an older age!, but I am majoring in Psych. I am actually typing this while listening to Frued's Stages!!! I Great accent!!!! Thank you again!!! You are awesome!!!!
Really useful! Breaks the stages down very well. Studying for my psychology honours and stuff like this really helps when there is so much information to learn and remember.
I absolutely love this! I was having so much trouble trying to remember all of this and this video helped immensely. Thank you for taking the time to make this, I was cracking up the whole time :)
What a Way to Teach a New Stuff with Ease 👏👏👏Mnemonics 👍 Now if any one asks me the concept then I can able to present at any moment, though at sleep 😴 Great show sir
This really helped! At first I thought the ideas in this video were dumb and that they wouldn't be that helpful. But I was taking a pysc test a few hours later and these images kept popping in my mind. It really helped me recall the info. Thanks for sharing!!
This is amazing! Thank you for this post. This was sooo effective. I've had to remember these stages various times throughout my academic career but never has it been this easy and memorable!
My professor used the acronym sentence Stinky Pigs Cant Fly and each word can be linked to the definition of what it stands for. I found it super helpful along with ur video.
I love you’re mnemonics and you’ve been very helpful! Conservation happens in stage 3 so it’s kind of confusing that you’re talking about it in stage 2 (even though I get your point that you’re saying conservation is “difficult” thereby not happening in this stage).
I struggle to come up with my own mnemonics, as I lack imagination. So, with your help, I am better able to recall what I need to! Thank you for taking your time to help students like me!
Hey, i just wanted to say, needed to say, that you are a very,very good teatcher! There is no better strategy than humor when learning someone something new. Thank you very much Michael Britt for this fantastic lesson! Cheers from Sweden!
Michael Britt, you are an excellent teacher. In fact, you are probably the best teacher I've ever learned from. Thank you for your hard work. I really do appreciate this.
Matto Niyazi NO. Think hard about things. Understand them. ACTUALLY TRY. Stop contributing to braindrain and stop suggesting distillation of good quality psychology. Piaget is hard to wade through, and that is a GOOD thing, not for sake of difficulty, but for the rewards you reap from understanding.
Wondering what you think of folks who need adaptive learning techniques, Michael? Forcing people to learn a certain way seems close-minded and almost ableist. Everyone learns differently.
At first I watched this and was like, this guy is nuts.... But the visuals helped and I did perfectly on that portion of the test. So you are not nuts, you're awesome. Thank you.
Stage 3 Concrete Operations- Logical thinking and accommodation. Concrete block(but then I changed it up) We should think logically when making accommodations. I have learned all my life by doing silly little words and pictures. I thought I was odd or slow to need them. I am seeing more and more people are doing this. So I am in good company. lol
4 is a door. The FORMAL starts @ 4. The boy opens the DOOR for the girl before entering the FORMAL. The boy worked out at the gym all month to get flat ABS to fit his tux.
First off, my MCAT is in a couple of days and this helped me learn a concept I had been struggling with! Every little bit helps! Secondly, I noticed that egocentrism wasn't included in the preoperational stage. I just added an image of an Ego waffle to my mental image.
I love this but would rather have used mnemonics that related specifically to the term. Its good and well to remember the term but if you cant relate the term to its meaning it would be useless in more in depth discussions. The example of the Concrete block for concrete operations is excellent because a concrete block relates to something real, logical, non-abstract. 1) Sensori-motor has to do with the development of your "sensors" (ie senses) and motor function. I think a good mnemonic would be a baby crawling (motor) into a wall (sensing (smell, touch, taste ect) permanence of an object). 2) Pre- means before (basic English suffix) Operational (think of something that is completed and ready to do stuff - operational/ working). So Thus in PreOp your development is moving to an operational stage but not yet there. In operational stages logic is develop so in preop "Imaginary or magic thinking (tooth fairy ect, Imaginary friend) This is import and in developing reality. Egocentic and centration (Think of your little sibling and the word "MINE!"). Its all about them. Assimilation They can associate similarities between objects (Two donkey's looking the same [Ass +similar]) 3) Concrete Operational (concrete block, It is real, it is developed, Logic) I think of a house build with concrete blocks, Orginised (orginised thinking) with furniture, Wooden Roof (LOGical thinking) and Glass windows (flexibility [see through] / accommodation) 4) Formal Operation (Think of man in black suit doing work.) Abstract thinking (remember abstract nouns in school ie Love so a heart) Hypothetico-deductive is also key here. Hypothetico (Think Hypothesis/ Hippopotamus) deductive (top-down" logic ) de- suffix means down. So when facing a problem you can throw it with a hippopotamus wearing a top hat or come up with a complex solution to solve the problem using deductive thinking.
As I was watching this, I was like this is CRAZY!!! but IT WORKS!!! woke up this morning and this crazy cartoon figure was playing in my head an I remembered everyone stage!!! THANK YOU AND DO YOU HAVE ANYMORE VIDEOS??? I must look!!
Yea, I know. It is a little crazy isn't it? But oddly enough it works. All my videos and lots of other mnemonic images are contained in the iphone app. Otherwise you'll find more videos in my channel. Glad they helped!
Also a Nursing student, great mnemonics. Couldn't help but make my sentence " Start Preschool before Classes and Fraternization" helps me match the ages. Your website is a study tool we share with others a lot.
The world needs more people like you Mr. Britt. Thanks so much!
PIAGET'S LUNCH:
SOP aka Soup: Sensorimotor Object Permanence
PMTCEA aka Pimento Cheese Sandwich: Preoperational Magical Thinking Conservation of Energy, Assimilation
COLTA FOAT aka Coke Float: Concrete Operations Logical Thinking, Accommodation-------Formal Operations Abstract Thinking. Michael this one help me A LOT....I came up with this....feel free to use it......:)
Nice I love food so I'll def remember this :)
Awesome thanks alot it's helpful as wel and well simplified
Thanks for this video!
Also, an acronym sentence I made on the spot for *SPCF* is *Some Penguins Can Fly.*
Hope it helps anyone struggling to remember the order :)
i am a stay at home mother, it is uesful and easy to understand ,thanks
I wish you were my psychology lecturer.
Thanks for the explanation, great video
Mr. Britt, I am studying for the EPPP and let me tell you what, this is the first time I laughed while studying. Thank you for this video.
Gotta have some fun while studying, right? :)
I've been trying to memorise the order of the stages for ages, and after his video I finally can! Thank you! :)
At first I was like "oh my god this guy is crazy what is he doing with motorcycles" and now I actually know all of the information I need for my test. Thank you so much kind sir. I'm sorry I doubted you.
This is AWESOME! Thank you! It was fun to watch and I'm starting to feel way better about the chapter.
Great. Glad to hear it. Thanks for the comment.
This works also very well for non-native speakers. A visual with the words. Also, the sillier the better, if it makes me smile then it is all worth it. Tests are hard and nerve wrecking as it is. Thank you Mr. Britt!
Thank you so much for this Michael!
You're welcome! Hope it helps with your test.
Amazing - at one point I was laughing so hard - it brought tears to my eyes - and I remembered everything!
I have never tried this method of learning before and it works great! I use your videos for MCAT studying and I really have to thank you, Mr. Britt, for easing the stress of having to memorize so many concepts meaninglessly and painfully.
Saw this for the first time. Came up with Some People Count Fingers.
Seems like a winner.
Luv and Peace.
I just want to thank you so much! I hadn't studied Piaget's stages and thought I would never learn them in time but this really worked! I must say I was doubtful at first, but I'm sure I will never forget them now. Thank you so much, you are amazing!
Its worked for me, exam tomorrow, feel confident I can recall thanks to this.
You are wonderful. I never thought being able to memorize Piaget's stage. Now it's a piece of cake! THANKS
Thank you Mr. Britt, the examples for assimilation, accommodation and abstract thinking were great... they're now glued to my brain.
I was studying more about these development stages and from the knowledge that I acquired, the "law of conservation" comes under stage 3 and not stage 2. Would you pls. confirm?
This was so helpful to me! I hope you know I literally tell everyone about your videos and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I can't get the idea of four males with abs out of my head... THANK YOU!
Thanks so much! Yea, that "abs" mnemonics is kinda fun. Glad this was helpful.
its crazy how i crammed everything here,like i still remember all the objects that were shown in every stage like i remember everythinn,ill come back and give an update after my test on MOnday
Yes - let me know how you did on the test!
This is awesome, I've watched it 4 times and feel much more comfortable taking my LCSW exam!

I love Some People Can’t Function!!!
Not only is this a very fun way to study, but it's SO HELPFUL!! Thank you!!
Jessica Grayson k
I read a book on memory improvement and it uses many of the concepts and devices you
employed in the video- very interesting and helpful.
I wish I would have found you at the beginning of my bio/psych course!! I have a final tomorrow, and this stuff is exactly what I need to imprint in my old brain!!! God bless you for taking the time to do this for all of us!!! You are GREAT!!!!! I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE ANT'S!! That is my nickname! : )
Glad you liked it Antoinette. If your nickname is Ants then use it. Imagine yourself dancing on top of the bun with a bee!
hahahaha, Well that would certainly be interesting!! People in class will be wondering why I am laughing during my exam!! LOL I am thoroughly enjoying all your videos! I will continue to follow you, I am coming back to school at, well let's just say, an older age!, but I am majoring in Psych. I am actually typing this while listening to Frued's Stages!!!

Antoinette S. Thanks Antoinette. Big smiles here.
Thank you. Loved this. No trouble remembering this. YOU are awesome!
Really useful! Breaks the stages down very well. Studying for my psychology honours and stuff like this really helps when there is so much information to learn and remember.
You are awesome, thanks! Taking the ASWB test on Thursday. My undergrad degree is in Psych, but this is a great refresher.
Did you pass?? Taking it in a few months!
I absolutely love this! I was having so much trouble trying to remember all of this and this video helped immensely. Thank you for taking the time to make this, I was cracking up the whole time :)
I have my AP test for my psychology class tomorrow. all your videos have been extremely helpful. I feel very confident about taking it, thanks to you.

You’re a real professor, not the one I now have
Some People Can Fly
Thank you! Mnemonic devices got me through anatomy and physiology at uni. This is really helpful.
We need more people like you Michael, thank you.
My professor used the acronym sentence Stinky Pigs Cant Fly and each word can be linked to the definition of what it stands for. I found it super helpful along with ur video.
I love you’re mnemonics and you’ve been very helpful! Conservation happens in stage 3 so it’s kind of confusing that you’re talking about it in stage 2 (even though I get your point that you’re saying conservation is “difficult” thereby not happening in this stage).
The amount of times I could have saved trying to cram things. Great video.
I struggle to come up with my own mnemonics, as I lack imagination. So, with your help, I am better able to recall what I need to! Thank you for taking your time to help students like me!
mnemonics
Thanks Ali. Appreciate your comment.
Thank you so much for creating this video.
I sincerely respect professors who is really making us, students, to understand psychology. Thank you.
These examples just make this look so simple thank you very much
I watch this before my exam. It saves me, thank you!
Hey, i just wanted to say, needed to say, that you are a very,very good teatcher! There is no better strategy than humor when learning someone something new. Thank you very much Michael Britt for this fantastic lesson! Cheers from Sweden!
Michael Britt, you are an excellent teacher. In fact, you are probably the best teacher I've ever learned from. Thank you for your hard work. I really do appreciate this.
You have helped me so much! You should branch out and do other subjects, you are so gifted.
I totally looooved it.Such a fun way of explaining things.Thank you so much for the help!
I take my PLT test today, I am going to sound crazy whispering 1 is a bun, 2 is a shoe ect. haha
wish my questions would be this easy
Matto Niyazi NO.

Fantastic! Glad to hear it. Good luck on that test!
Another great sentence might be "Silly Piaget, Children [are] Funny". Thanks for all the amazing videos!
this is awesome! I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos. so fun!
This was so much more fun than reading a boring ole study guide!
Thank you! What a great method of learning, will teach it to my grade 4's as well!
This just saved me from wracking my brain all day again!!! Much appreciated!!!
this is going to help me with my PLT Praxis exam. Thank you so much for this.
Great video. I decided to make this sentence. SPCF= Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Friends.
Stage 3 Concrete Operations- Logical thinking and accommodation. Concrete block(but then I changed it up) We should think logically when making accommodations. I have learned all my life by doing silly little words and pictures. I thought I was odd or slow to need them. I am seeing more and more people are doing this. So I am in good company. lol
This helped a lot, you explained everything very clear! Cheers from Belgium
Delightfully thorough explanation, let us not be cruel to Fruit or Flies or fruit flies. Will share with my students, thank you.
very helpful but will watch again before taking exam.
You are absolutely phenomenal.
That was great, THANK YOU!!!!! I remember things better this way so i'll feel more prepared for an exam on this material !!!!!!!
This is fantastic simplified and well organised work
I did enjoy it for sure, 🤓you're a magician🙌.Thanks a million.
thaaaankuuuuuuuuu💟 i wish i had a teacher like you in real life for making complex things so easy ❤
For visual learners like me, I say Thank you.
Thanks so much, never thought this would work! Made studying a bit more fun
Thanks a bunch... so helpful. Going to watch Erikson's in a few...
Great way to remember these! The only thing missing is the ages for the 3 after sensorimotor. Thanks for the video!
I'm starting to understand piaget, thank's to you!!
michael britt is my hero
4 is a door. The FORMAL starts @ 4. The boy opens the DOOR for the girl before entering the FORMAL. The boy worked out at the gym all month to get flat ABS to fit his tux.

Great for studying for the praxis 2 exam! Thanks!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! This and the One on Erikson helped me a lot!
Yea, that's me. I have to admit it. Glad you liked it.
Studying for the NCE exam, very helpful! Thank you!
+Courtney A what's nce
I really apreciate it, Mr. Britt!! Muchas gracias!!
I was really struggling with it, my exam is tomorrow, so thank you Michael.

+FrozenDroid90 Interesting, buy why a "waffle"? I'm curious.
Leggo my eggo waffle brand!
+Michael Britt Eggo's waffles. Egg-o sounds and looks like e-go
Michael: Amazing information and I appreciate you helping me with taking my LCSW exam!!! Thanks!

Awesome!!! loved it, I had to memorize these stages for my mcat.. it was fun to learn this right away
thank you soooo much! pls.continue teaching I learn so much better this way.
This is so much fun! You laughing makes me laugh and helps me study! When its fun, we learn better!
Thank you Mr.Britt, I think this will help me a lot in my exam "Cognitive Theories".
Society for the prevention cruelty to fruit 😂😂😂😂
I love it!!!!
Me too! Nice.
Set --> Prepare --> Create --> Finalize
As I was watching this, I was like this is CRAZY!!! but IT WORKS!!! woke up this morning and this crazy cartoon figure was playing in my head an I remembered everyone stage!!! THANK YOU AND DO YOU HAVE ANYMORE VIDEOS??? I must look!!

You did a really good job, thank you so much for help me studying for my exam! :)
Thank you for doing this! Your creativity really helps.
Michael Britt, I love you!!
I love the examples you gave to us sir ! I learned a lot, thank you !
Mnemonics rock! Thanks.
