Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget's theory of cognitive development suggests that children in the preoperational stage (ages 2-7) are characterized by egocentrism, magical thinking, and difficulty understanding conservation. This stage aligns with early childhood, including the first grade, when children are learning language and beginning to develop their symbolic and representational thought. Therefore, Edward is most likely in the preoperational stage.
