A child's understanding of the concept of ice becoming water, Piaget's stage of cognitive de-velopment, is seen in:
1. Sensorimotor
2. Preoperational
3. Formal operations
4. Concrete operations
ANS: 4
During Piaget's concrete operations stage of cognitive development, the child is able to under-stand that objects or quantities remain the same despite a change in their physical appearance, such as when ice becomes water. During Piaget's sensorimotor stage of cognitive development, the child is exploring the environment but is unable to understand the concept of ice becoming water. During Piaget's preoperational stage of cognitive development, the child is learning to think with the use of symbols and mental images but is not able to understand the concept of ice becoming water. According to Piaget's formal operations stage of cognitive development, the individual's thinking moves to abstract and theoretical subjects.
