A)sensorimotor concrete operational preoperational formal operational
B)preoperational concrete operational preoperational formal operational

Question

Which sequence accurately reflects the order of Piaget's stages of cognitive development, from birth through adolescence?
A)sensorimotor > concrete operational > preoperational > formal operational
B)preoperational > concrete operational > preoperational > formal operational
C)sensorimotor > preoperational > concrete operational > formal operational
D)nonoperational > preoperational > operational > postoperational

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget's stages of cognitive development are as follows: 
1) Sensorimotor stage: Birth to 2 years old 
2) Preoperational stage: 2 to 7 years old 
3) Concrete operational stage: 7 to 12 years old 
4) Formal operational stage: 12 years old and beyond 
Option A is incorrect because it has the incorrect arrangement of the preoperational and concrete operational stages. Option B is incorrect because it has two preoperational stages. Option D is incorrect because it has nonoperational and postoperational stages that do not exist in Piaget's theory. Therefore, the correct answer is C, which presents the accurate sequence of Piaget's stages of cognitive development.
