Achild is presented with two identical balls of clay. the experimenter rolls one ball into a long, thin shape; the other remains in its original ball. the child is then asked if there is more clay in the ball or in the long, thin piece of clay. if the child answers the problem correctly, but cannot use abstract reasoning yet, the child most likely is in which stage of piaget’s cognitive development theory?

The Preoperational Stage

Explanation:

This is the second stage in Piaget's cognitive development theory and it starts at age 2 through 7.

At this stage, children have learnt language and have learnt to think at a symbolic level but have not learnt how to think logically and are inept at manipulating representations like identifying, transforming, organizing and combining ideas. Due to the absence of logic in reasoning, there can be no abstract thinking
