What is classification? How do children learn how to classify?
What will be an ideal response?
Classification is the ability to understand that objects can be simultaneously part of more than one class or group. Children in the preoperational period often lack this. Children learn to classify via experience. Piaget gives the example of classifying a picture of flowers. He asked if there were more yellow flowers in the picture or flowers. Children had to understand that yellow is a type/color of flower, and they fit under the umbrella category of flower.
