Question 13 of 19 • TX-Psychology
Answer:
Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Children in Piaget’s preoperational stage of development are unable to understand that they are part of a bigger picture. They also focus on one feature of a problem instead of looking at the whole problem in order to come to a logical conclusion. This is known as centration. They also think in terms of the current stage of a problem. They are unable to think of the process that caused a certain state or anything that will happen after. Children in this stage are also unable to mentally reverse actions, such as seeing someone pour water from one glass into a taller, more slender glass and being unable to mentally reverse the action to realize that it is still the same amount of water.
