AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Piaget determined that children in the concrete operational stage were able to incorporate inductive logic. On the other hand, children at this age have difficulty using deductive logic, which involves using a general principle to predict the outcome of a specific event. This includes mental reversibility.

Detailed explanation-2: -While thinking becomes much more logical during the concrete operational state, it can also be very rigid. Kids at this point in development tend to struggle with abstract and hypothetical concepts. During this stage, children also become less egocentric and begin to think about how other people might think and feel.

Detailed explanation-3: -Limitations of concrete operational thought. These new cognitive skills increase the child’s understanding of the physical world, however according to Piaget, they still cannot think in abstract ways. Additionally, they do not think in systematic scientific ways.

Detailed explanation-4: -Piaget believed that deductive reasoning becomes necessary during the formal operational stage. Deductive logic requires the ability to use a general principle to determine a particular outcome. Science and mathematics often require this type of thinking about hypothetical situations and concepts.

Detailed explanation-5: -The concrete operational stage (7–11 years) Children also become able to apply logical, concrete rules to physical objects. However, they cannot yet do the same thing for abstract concepts.
