Seriation is the ability to arrange objects in a specific order based on a particular dimension (in this case, length), and is demonstrated in the example given. Abstract thinking and understanding class inclusion relationships are not being demonstrated here, and while hierarchical classification is somewhat related to seriation, it refers more to the ability to organize objects into subcategories based on shared features, rather than simply ordering them by size.
