According to Piaget's theory, children in the concrete operations stage (7-11 years) are first able to handle conservation problems and hierarchical classification problems. In this stage, children can think logically about concrete objects and events, understand conservation of quantity (that a fixed quantity remains the same even when its appearance changes), and understand the hierarchical relationships between categories (e.g. that a robin is a bird but not all birds are robins).
