Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget believed that children in the concrete operational stage (ages 7-12) are capable of conservation, classification, and understanding cause and effect relationships. These cognitive abilities allow the child to understand and construct family trees, as well as other forms of complex classification systems. Option A (thinking abstractly) is a characteristic of the formal operational stage, which occurs around age 12 and onward. Option C (memorization) and option D (intuitive reasoning) are not directly related to the cognitive abilities necessary for understanding family trees.
