Question

Wayne is asked to look at two rows of M&Ms. The first row has five M&Ms all lined up and nearly touching. The second row has five M&Ms all lined up but spread out, thereby taking up much more room than the first row. When Wayne is asked which row has more M&Ms, he exclaims, "They both have the same amount!" According to Piaget, in which stage of cognitive development is Wayne?

Answer 1

concrete operational

Step-by-step explanation:

The concrete operational stage is a stage in the theory of cognitive development. This particular stage comes in the life of a child when he/she arrives at the age of seven. From the age of seven to eleven, the concrete operational stage can be noticed in the life of an individual. Rational thinking and organized behavior are some of the development characteristics of the stage. The child starts to think logically and becomes mature to use his rational thoughts into his thoughts.
