Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Class inclusion tasks require the child to understand the relationship between a general category (e.g. "fruit") and the specific categories that fall within it (e.g. "apples" and "oranges"). Piaget believed that children who pass these tasks have developed the ability to think about these two levels of categories at the same time, which is an example of the cognitive skill he called "class inclusion."
