Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Concrete operations refer to the stage in Piaget's theory of cognitive development where children (typically aged 7 to 11) are able to think logically about objects and events in their immediate environment. They can perform operations on tangible objects and actual events, hence the term "concrete." This stage contrasts with earlier stages where thinking is more intuitive and later stages where abstract thinking develops.
