CPreoperational, sensorimotor, formal
DConcrete, formal, pre, sensorimotor
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Sensorimotor, pre, concrete, formal
1. The stages are always listed in the order a child passes through them.
2. Piaget proposed a theory of cognitive development that unfolds in four stages.
3. Those stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational.
4. Preoperational runs from about 2 to 7, and concrete operational from about 7 to 11.
5. Formal operational then runs from about age 11 to adulthood.
