Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget's concrete operations stage is between the ages of 7 to 12 years old, in which the child begins to think logically and understand conservation (the concept that a certain quantity or amount remains the same even if it looks different). In the preoperational stage (2 to 7 years old), the child struggles with conservation and is easily fooled by changes in appearance.
