Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Piaget's theory, children between ages 2 and 7 are in the preoperational stage. During this stage, children can use symbols and language to represent objects and events but still lack the ability to reason logically. For example, a preoperational child may believe that pouring water from a wide glass into a tall, thin glass changes the amount of water. Only in the concrete operational stage (ages 7-12) do children acquire logical reasoning abilities. Therefore, the best choice is D) preoperational.
