Answer:He called this intuitive thought

Step-by-step explanation:

This is substage that occurs around the age of 4-7 according to Piaget when children start to question everything like why is this this way? Piaget says at this stage children have an intuitive knowlegde where they feel sure of what they know eventhough they don't know how they know it or how they have acquired such knowledge.

They start to rational explain things rather than relying on magical explanation of things , they move away from believing that things happen magically but believe in how things really happen.

They start to also understand symbolic representation of things like a dog as a teddy is not the same as the real dog.
