According to Piaget's theory, children in the concrete operational stage (ages 7 to 12) are capable of seriation, which is the ability to order stimuli along a quantitative dimension such as size, height, or weight. This means they can arrange items in order from smallest to largest or vice versa. While classification (D) is also a skill developed in the concrete operational stage, it involves grouping objects based on shared characteristics rather than ordering them along a dimension. Centration (A) and reversibility (C) are cognitive skills developed in earlier stages of Piaget's theory.
