Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Younger children tend to sort items by their everyday association, such as grouping toys based on their function or how they are used. They have not yet developed the cognitive ability to categorize items based on more complex features such as taxonomy or alphabetization. Additionally, repeating a list backwards is a memorization technique rather than a sorting strategy.
