Question

A child can form mental representations that accurately reflect possible actions in the physical world, and can manipulate those representations using two-way thinking, which is logical and systematic. Which is the earliest stage at which this becomes possible?

Answer 1

Sensorimotor Stage

Step-by-step explanation:

Sensorimotor Stage: This is the very first stage of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development. The sensorimotor stage starts from birth and lasts around two years of age.

Object permanence is considered to be the important attainment of this stage and states that an object exists even if it is not in a person's visibility or hidden. Through object permanence, a person can develop mental representation that is schema of a particular object.

The earliest stage would be the sensorimotor stage.
