Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dawn is a newborn and would be correctly identified as being in the sensorimotor stage according to Piaget's theory of cognitive development. Ellis, at 6 years old, would be in the preoperational stage, not the concrete operational stage. Fritzi, at 9 years old, would be in the concrete operational stage, not the formal operational stage. Girard, at 15 years old, would be in the formal operational stage, not post-operational as that is not described in Piaget's theory.
