It comes from the theories of the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget.
He is referring to the way children between the ages of 2 and 7 years typically think. He noticed that they do not reason logically. They only make assumptions about what seems reasonable to them.
For example, if you have two equal glasses of Orange Juice, a preoperational child will agree they are equal. If you then pour one into a very tall thin glass, the child will say that there is "more" juice in the taller glass because the level is higher.
Or if you tell a preoperational child that the sun "moves across the sky from east to west," the child might draw a picture of the sun with legs. After all, how could the sun "move" if it didn't have legs to walk?
