Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children in the concrete operational stage move along a continuum of acquisition of logical concepts, meaning that they gradually become better at logical thinking as they grow and develop. They are not able to think abstractly yet, so option A is incorrect. While they may master some concrete operational tasks at once, it is unlikely that they will master all of them simultaneously, therefore option C is incorrect. Finally, while some children may still struggle with conservation tasks in this stage, it is not true for all children, so option D is also incorrect.
