In Piaget's pre-operational period, children recognize objects/words that stand for something else. They use symbols to learn and interact with the world. However, they do not use ________, which explains the limitations in their abilities. (e.g. shoe ice cream)

Lack of reasoning creates contraption, focus on appearance, states reasoning, and irreversibility. Define them.
