Piaget's theory of cognitive development suggests that most young adolescents (ages 7-11) are at the concrete operational stage. This stage is characterized by the ability to think logically and concretely about objects and events in the physical world. Children are able to understand concepts like conservation, reversibility, and causality. They also become more capable of classification, seriation, and spatial reasoning. Formal operational thinking does not typically develop until early adolescence or later, around the age of 11-12. Preoperational thinking characterizes the thinking of children between the ages of 2-7, and sensory-motor thinking is typical of infants from birth to around 2 years old.
