Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conservation is the ability to understand that even if an object's appearance changes, its properties and quantity remain the same. Children in the concrete operational stage (ages 7-12) have developed this understanding, while those in the preoperational stage (ages 2-7) have not yet fully grasped it. The formal operational stage (ages 12 and up) is focused on abstract reasoning and hypothetical thinking, and the sensorimotor stage (ages 0-2) is concerned with developing basic sensory and motor skills. Therefore, the best choice is D, concrete operational.
