B
Feedback:
The preoperational stage occurs in children from ages 2 to 7; children investigate and explore the environment and look at things from their own point of view, such as wishing the dog would quit eating their blocks and now feeling responsible because the dog has ran away. A child in the concrete operations stage has developed the ability to have conservation of matter, such as comparing how fast a ball and a block fall from the same height. Understanding how different shape figures fit together into an idealistic world is an example of how a child thinks after the age of 12 in the formal operations stage. Learning how to ride a bicycle is an example of physical growth.
