Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concrete operational stage, according to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, occurs between the ages of 7 and 11 years old. During this stage, children become more cognitively advanced and can categorize objects based on their characteristics. This cognitive advancement occurs through their interactions with the world around them, such as objects, events, and experiences, which allow them to develop more complex mental representations of the world. Therefore, choice A, "the world," is the best answer. While parents and teachers may be important influences on a child's development, they do not play as crucial of a role as the child's interactions with their environment. The answer D, "themselves," is also less accurate because it does not fully capture the idea that interactions with the environment are a major factor in cognitive development.
