✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, during the concrete operational stage (approximately 7 to 11 years), a child can perform logical operations on real, concrete, and directly experienced objects, but remains unable to solve abstract or hypothetical problems. In contrast, during the formal operational stage (11 years and beyond), adolescents acquire the ability for abstract thinking, hypothetico-deductive reasoning, and scientific methodology.
