R'Monte's behavior of engaging in make-believe play and pretending that the beads in the bowl are soup suggests that he is in the preoperational stage of cognitive development according to Piaget. In this stage, children engage in imaginative play and use symbols to represent objects and ideas, but they still have difficulty with logical reasoning and conservation tasks.
