Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As children develop through early childhood, they gain the ability to form representations of reality, which allows them to engage in flexible, goal-directed problem-solving. This is a key aspect of cognitive development during this time period. While sensorimotor activities play a role in cognitive development earlier in infancy, they are not as relevant to the transformation from a stimulus-driven toddler to a goal-directed child during early childhood. Representations of inverted thought are not a commonly recognized aspect of cognitive development during this time period.
