Question

If a child has just begun to have empathy for his or her playmates, what cognitive stage has he or she reached?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is concrete operational.

Explanation:

During this stage, which appears around age seven, a child begins to understand abstract concepts and develop logical thought. Another key element is that children become less egocentric. This makes sense because empathy, or "being in another person's shoes", involves abstract thinking.
