Detailed Explanation
Explanation
According to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, the Concrete Operational Stage typically spans from about 7 to 11 years of age.
- During this stage, children acquire cognitive abilities such as conservation, decentration, classification, and seriation.
- However, deductive reasoning and fully developed abstract or hypothetical thinking are characteristics of the subsequent stage, known as the Formal Operational Stage (starting from 11 years and above).
Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer as it is not a characteristic of the concrete operational stage.

Under Child Development and Pedagogy, consider the following statements regarding Jean Piaget's 'Theory of Cognitive Development': 1. According to Piaget, cognitive development is not a continuous process, but occurs through four qualitatively distinct sequential stages, where each stage reconstructs the preceding stage. 2. During the 'Pre-operational Stage' (approximately 2 to 7 years), the abilities of 'Conservation' and 'Decentration' fully develop in children, enabling them to understand the fundamental properties of an object despite changes in its shape or form. 3. In the 'Concrete Operational Stage' (approximately 7 to 11 years), children learn the ability to classify objects into categories or sub-categories (Classification) and 'Seriation', but they remain unable to think logically about abstract and hypothetical propositions. Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
