Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elka is able to categorize and organize information (dinosaurs) based on their characteristics (time periods) which is a skill developed during the Concrete Operations stage of cognitive development. Preoperational children typically struggle with this type of organization, while Formal Operations children would be able to think abstractly and hypothetically about the topic. Sensorimotor development occurs in infancy and involves understanding through sensory experiences and motor actions.
