Question

Donna Hensley · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Concrete operational children, according to Piaget's stages of cognitive development, have the ability to think logically about objects and events. This stage typically includes children from about 7 to 11 years old. Piaget and Inhelder found that children in this stage could indeed seriate, or logically order objects, along two dimensions simultaneously, such as size and color, or in this case, brightness. This ability reflects the development of operational thought, allowing children to manage multiple aspects of a problem at once.
