While some research has supported Piaget's explanation of children's performance on his tasks, there is also evidence that suggests alternative explanations should be considered and that Piaget's theory may need some revision to include concepts he did not originally consider. Therefore, option B is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because not all research strongly supports Piaget's explanation. Option C is incorrect because Piaget's theory actually proposes that infants do not understand objects until later in development. Option D is too extreme and not accurate based on the current research.
