✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, in the 'Concrete Operational Stage' (approximately 7 to 11 years of age), children develop logical skills such as 'Conservation' (understanding that quantity, weight, or volume remains unchanged) and 'Decentration' (ability to view an object from multiple perspectives rather than a single aspect). Abstract thinking is a feature of the Formal Operational Stage, object permanence develops in the Sensorimotor Stage, and symbolic play relates to the Pre-operational Stage.
