According to Piaget, during the concrete operational period, which spans from about ages 7 to 12, children master the principle of conservation. This means they understand that changes in appearance, such as pouring liquid from a short, wide cup into a tall, narrow glass, do not change the amount of the substance. This ability represents a major cognitive milestone. The other options, including object permanence (the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they are out of sight), centration (focusing on only one aspect of a problem), and abstract reasoning skills, develop earlier or later in Piaget's stages of cognitive development.
