Question

Sandra Amaya · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, children between the ages of 4 to 7 are in the preoperational stage which is divided into two sub-stages. The first sub-stage is the preconceptual substage where children start to use symbols (such as language) to represent objects and events in the world around them. The second sub-stage is the intuitive thought substage, where children begin to use primitive reasoning and ask many questions to understand the world around them. Therefore, Christopher is in the intuitive thought substage of preoperational thought.
