Question

Christopher Mellan · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Children in the early part of Piaget's preoperational stage, which includes ages around 2 years, have difficulty with tasks that require understanding symbolic representations or abstract concepts. This includes understanding how a model (small-scale room) can represent something larger (a larger room), as their thinking is very concrete and centered on their immediate perceptions.
