A little boy in the preoperational stage would have trouble understanding that

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children in the preoperational stage, typically ages 2 to 7, struggle with understanding the concept of conservation and perspective-taking. They often cannot grasp that people can have roles beyond those directly related to them. Thus, understanding that his mother is also someone's daughter requires the ability to see his mother in a different role or perspective, which is challenging for children in this stage. The other options (A, B, C) do not directly relate to the limitations of the preoperational stage as defined by Piaget, such as issues with object permanence (which is resolved in the sensorimotor stage, before the preoperational stage), understanding different family compositions, or comparing physical attributes, which are not specifically tied to the cognitive limitations of the preoperational stage.
