Detailed Explanation
According to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, during the preoperational stage (approximately 2 to 7 years), children develop symbolic thought, but their thinking possesses key limitations such as Egocentrism, Centration, and Irreversibility.
- Egocentrism: The inability to differentiate between one's own perspective and another person's perspective.
- Centration: The tendency to focus on only one detail or aspect of a situation while neglecting others.
- Irreversibility: The inability to mentally reverse a sequence of events to its starting point.
Therefore, option (a) accurately describes the cognitive characteristics of this stage.
