Intuitive thought is the sub-stage of Piaget's cognitive development theory. It is the sub-stage of the preoperational stage from age 2 to 7 years but the intuitive thought stage from 4 to 7 years. In intuitive thought sub-stage children are unaware of the knowledge they acquire. In this stage, children show the style of thinking that is called cent-ration. In this style of thinking children focus on only one side of a personal view. De-ceneration is the part of the conservation in this stage. In this stage children asking so many irrelevant questions. Through this, this process children built up their knowledge about the objects.
Object permanence is a very important step in a child development. It requires the capability to create a mental representation about that specific object. This very development make the children understand that their parents do not actually disappear when they're playing a peek-a-boo
