Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, children between the age of 2 and 7 are in the preoperational stage. During this stage, children are able to use language and mental symbols to represent objects and ideas, but they lack logical reasoning and understanding of conservation. Morris's ability to count to 10, but not fully grasping the meaning of numbers, indicates that he is in the preoperational stage.
