Question

Arrange the following Piaget's stages of cognitive development starting from birth. A. Pre operational stage
B. Concrete-operational stage
C. Sensorimotor stage
D. Formal operational stage Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A $\rightarrow$ B $\rightarrow$ C $\rightarrow$ D
• B. B $\rightarrow$ A $\rightarrow$ C $\rightarrow$ D
• C. C $\rightarrow$ A $\rightarrow$ B $\rightarrow$ D
• D. D $\rightarrow$ B $\rightarrow$ A $\rightarrow$ C

Hint:

Piaget order: Sensorimotor $\rightarrow$ Pre-operational $\rightarrow$ Concrete-operational $\rightarrow$ Formal-operational.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Jean Piaget explained cognitive development through four major stages occurring from infancy to adulthood.

Step 1:
This stage occurs from birth to about 2 years. Infants learn through senses and physical actions. \[ C \text{ comes first} \]

Step 2:
From about 2 to 7 years, children develop language and symbolic thinking. \[ A \text{ comes after C} \]

Step 3:
Between 7 to 11 years, logical thinking about concrete objects develops. \[ B \text{ comes after A} \]

Step 4:
From around 12 years onward, abstract and logical reasoning develops. \[ D \text{ comes last} \]

Step 5:
Thus, the correct order is: \[ C \rightarrow A \rightarrow B \rightarrow D \] \[ \boxed{\text{(3) C \rightarrow A \rightarrow B \rightarrow D}} \]
