Introduction:
There are three ways to examine the cognitive development. One of the ways is found in works of Jean Piaget. He developed a theory from detailed observations of children and infants. Piaget believed that children form schemes as they experience new events and situations. Piaget proposed four distinct stages of cognitive development that occurs from infancy to adulthood: sensorimotor stage, preoperational stage, concrete operations, and formal operations.

Answer to Problem 10TY
Correct answer:
In the Piaget’s stage of concrete operations, the child become capable of understanding conservation. Therefore, option d. is correct.
Option d. is given as “concrete operations”.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
In concrete operations stage which is around the ages of 7-12, a child becomes capable of conservation and reversible thinking. They are able to identify objects with respect to their characteristics. At concrete operation stage, a child is able to think logically and is very much able to understand analogies.
Hence, option d. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “sensorimotor”.
Sensorimotor is the first stage of cognitive development, in which child uses its senses and motor abilities to learn things in its surrounding (world). Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option b. is given as “preoperational”.
This is the second Piaget’s stages in which the child becomes capable of symbolic thinking. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option c. is given as “formal operations”.
Formal operation is the last Piaget’s stage in which abstract thinking becomes possible in the child. This involves not only understanding of concepts but also depth thinking regarding possibilities and impossibilities. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options a., b., and c. are incorrect.
Concrete operation is the stage of cognitive development in which a child becomes capable of reversible thinking and conservation.
