Piaget's theory states that during the concrete operational stage, which typically occurs between ages 7 and 12, children acquire the ability to use reversibility, conservation, classification, and seriation to think in more logical ways. They understand that objects can be transformed and returned to their original state (reversibility), that the quantity of a substance remains the same even when its form changes (conservation), and can classify objects into different categories based on their similarities and differences (classification), and arrange objects in a certain order (seriation). These cognitive abilities allow children to think more logically and effectively solve problems. Moreover, children in the concrete operational stage are not yet capable of thinking abstractly as that is a skill that develops during the formal operational stage (ages 12 and beyond).
