Correct option is D
The correct chronological order of Jean Piaget’s stages of Cognitive Development is
The Sensory Motor Stage -> The Pre-Operational Stage -> The Concrete Operational Stage -> The Formal Operational Stage (B, A, D, C).
Information Booster:
·
The Sensory Motor Stage (B - Birth to 2 Years): This is the
first stage where infants understand the world primarily through their sensory experiences (seeing, hearing) and motor actions (grasping, sucking). A major developmental landmark achieved toward the end of this stage is
Object Permanence—the realization that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen or heard.
·
The Pre-Operational Stage (A - 2 to 7 Years): The
second stage is characterized by the emergence of
symbolic thought, language development, and imaginative play. Children in this stage demonstrate
egocentrism (difficulty taking another person's perspective) and
centration (focusing on only one feature of an object at a time), while lacking an understanding of the principle of conservation.
·
The Concrete Operational Stage (D - 7 to 11 Years): The
third stage marks the onset of
logical thinking, but strictly limited to
concrete, physical objects and real-life situations. Children master key concepts such as
Conservation (understanding that quantity remains constant despite changes in shape/appearance),
Reversibility,
Classification, and
Seriation (sorting objects by size or weight).
·
The Formal Operational Stage (C - 11 Years through Adulthood): The
final stage brings the ability to think
abstractly, logically, and systematically. Adolescents develop
hypothetico-deductive reasoning, allowing them to formulate hypotheses, test them systematically, consider hypothetical possibilities, and engage in metacognition.
