Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the concrete operations stage, children develop the ability to use mental operations, such as organizing objects into hierarchies and understanding conservation (that the quantity of a substance remains the same despite changes in its physical appearance). They are able to reason logically about concrete objects and events, but they are not yet capable of thinking abstractly or hypothetically, nor are they examining the world scientifically. Object permanence is a concept that is developed earlier, during the sensorimotor stage.
