Question

7-year-old Alice is working with clay in art class, and she rolls a round ball of clay between her hands until it becomes a long rope of clay. However, she decides that she doesn't want the rope of clay, but would prefer that the clay is in the shape of a ball again. Alice knows that this is possible. Piaget would say that Alice is demonstrating the knowledge of
reversibility.

Answer 1

Answer: Below are the options.

True/False.

The answer is True.

Explanation: According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, the third stage is called the Concrete Operational stage.

This stage occurs from age 7-12, and what happens is that a child will show increased use of logical thinking.

One of the important processes that develops during this age range is the process of Reversibility.

This process refers to the ability of a child to recognize that numbers or objects can be changed and returned to their original condition.

For instance, when a child attains this stage, he/she will understand that his/her ball that deflates is not actually damaged but can be filled with air again and played with.

Another example is that children will learn that water can be frozen and thawed, to attain its original state again.
