With reference to the interrelationships and stages of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development and Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, consider the following statements: 1. According to Piaget, 'conservation' and 'decentration' are fully developed within a child during the 'Pre-operational Stage', which is essential for understanding Kohlberg's 'Post-conventional Morality' level. 2. The 'Good Boy-Good Girl Orientation' under Kohlberg's 'Conventional Morality' level focuses on the fact that an individual makes moral decisions to gain social approval, praise, and to be good in the eyes of others. 3. The 'Formal Operational Stage' in Piaget's cognitive development provides the capacity for abstract thinking and the formation of logical hypotheses, preparing an essential cognitive background for the development of Kohlberg's Universal Ethical Principle Orientation.

Regarding the interrelations between Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development and Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, consider the following statements: 1. According to Piaget, when a child fits a new experience into their existing mental structure (schema) without any major changes, this process is called 'assimilation', whereas in Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the 'conventional morality' level focuses on the child making moral judgments to maintain society's rules, social order, and the approval of others. 2. In Piaget's 'formal operational stage', the child develops the capacity for deductive reasoning and abstract thinking fully, which provides a necessary cognitive foundation for understanding the 'Universal Ethical Principle Orientation' falling under Kohlberg's 'post-conventional morality' level. 3. According to Kohlberg, the stages of moral development are irreversible and universal, and their sequence always progresses from pre-conventional to conventional and finally to the post-conventional level, which cannot regress to an earlier stage like the stages of Piaget's cognitive development. Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
