Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the concrete operational stage, children begin to transform cognition into logical reasoning by being able to understand conservation, reversibility, and other concrete logical concepts. They can reason through problems that involve tangible objects and understand cause and effect relationships. However, they are not yet capable of abstract thinking or dealing with symbols that do not refer to real-world objects. Furthermore, they may not consider all possible outcomes in a scientific problem due to their limited understanding of abstract concepts.
