reward and punishment
In the preconventional level, decisions are primarily made based on avoiding punishment and seeking rewards. Individuals in this stage are focused on self-interest and may not consider broader ethical principles or societal expectations in their decision-making.
Preconventional morality refers to the first stage of moral development according to Kohlberg, where individuals make decisions based on self-interest and fear of punishment. In this stage, the focus is on avoiding consequences and gaining rewards rather than considering higher ethical principles.
Lawrence Kohlberg developed a theory of moral reasoning that built upon Jean Piaget's cognitive development model. Kohlberg proposed a six-stage theory of moral development based on the reasoning behind moral decisions.
Postconventional moral reasoning is guided primarily by principles of justice, universal ethics, and respect for human rights. Individuals at this level consider societal values and laws in making ethical decisions, rather than simply following rules or seeking approval from others. They prioritize critical thinking and ethical consistency in their moral judgments.
Kohlberg is to moral development. He developed a theory of moral reasoning that describes how individuals progress through different stages of moral reasoning.
Piaget used a method called moral dilemmas to study moral development in children, where he presented them with scenarios and observed their reasoning behind their decisions. Kohlberg expanded on Piaget's work by using moral dilemmas as well but focused on the reasoning behind the choices, proposing stages of moral development based on the individual's reasoning.

preconventional
Preconventional moral development is a stage in Kohlberg's theory of moral development, where individuals make decisions based on self-interest and avoiding punishment. They view right and wrong in terms of consequences rather than internalized moral principles. This stage typically occurs in early childhood.

postconventional
Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development suggests that children ages 3 through 6 are in the preconventional stage, where moral understanding is based on consequences and authority figures. During this stage, children might start to follow rules to avoid punishment, but their moral reasoning is still limited to a self-centered perspective and concrete reasoning.

According to Exhumator.com, Lawrence Kohlberg contracted Giardia Lamblia. I got this by typing "Kohlberg Parasite" into google. Typing "Kohlberg Giardia" into google brought me to a books.google.com page, which says that Kohlberg's condition was only diagnosed in 1973, by which time the disease was beyond cure
Kohlberg's Level 3, Post-conventional level, involves the full internalization of moral values. At this level, individuals act based on their own principles of right and wrong, regardless of societal norms or laws.
psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg concluded that we go through a sequence of stages as we develop morality. Building on Piaget's work, he found that children begin in the amoral stage.("Mne!!" a 2 yr. old will shout out asshe grabs a toy from another child.) For them, there is no right and wrong, just personal needs to be satisfied. From about ages 7 to 10 , children are in what Kohlberg called preconventional stage. They have learned rules,and they follow them to stay out of trouble.They view right and wrong as what pleases or displeases their parents, friends and their concern is to avoid punishment.At about age 10,they enter the conventional stage. During this period,morality means following the norms, and values they have learned. In the postconventional stage, which Kohlberg says most people dont reach,individuals reflect on abstract principals of right and wrong and judge behavior according to these principals.
