Cynthia Braggs · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Piaget's theory of cognitive development is highly influential and has been foundational in understanding how children learn and think. However, subsequent research has suggested that while the sequences of development he proposed (sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational stages) generally hold true, the ages at which children reach these stages can vary more than Piaget originally suggested. This indicates that the developmental sequences he identified are robust, but the timeline for reaching these stages can be more flexible than he posited.
