Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that Piaget's Cognitive Developmental Theory outlines stages of cognitive development in children, each characterized by different thinking abilities.
Identify the concrete operational stage, which typically occurs between ages 7 and 11, where children begin to think logically about concrete events.
Recall that during the concrete operational stage, children develop the ability to use logic to solve problems related to concrete objects and events, but they struggle with abstract or hypothetical concepts.
Compare the options: Symbolic play is more characteristic of the preoperational stage; abstract reasoning is typical of the formal operational stage; egocentrism decreases during the concrete operational stage.
Conclude that the defining feature of the concrete operational stage is the active and appropriate use of logic when dealing with concrete information.
