Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget argued that children in the formal-operational stage, which typically begins around age 12 and continues into adulthood, have the ability to engage in scientific reasoning and use abstract thought to solve problems. Children in the concrete-operational stage (ages 7-12) can understand concrete operations and use logic, but may struggle with abstract or hypothetical situations. Children in the preoperational stage (ages 2-7) have not yet developed the ability to engage in scientific reasoning, and those in the sensory-motor stage (birth-2 years) are still focused on sensory experiences and have not developed mental representations.
