Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget's concrete operational stage, typically from ages 7 to 11, involves children starting to think logically about concrete events. They understand the concept of conservation, can classify objects, and can perform operations (such as addition and subtraction) in their heads. However, they struggle with abstract and hypothetical concepts, which explains why the nephew can logically plan his attacks based on his understanding of Pokémon types but has difficulty predicting his opponent's counterattacks, a more abstract form of thinking that develops in the formal operational stage.
