Detailed explanation-1: -The concrete-operational stage depicts an important step in the cognitive development of children (Piaget, 1947). According to Piaget, thinking in this stage is characterized by logical operations, such as conservation, reversibility or classification, allowing logical reasoning.
Detailed explanation-2: -Piaget considered the concrete stage a major turning point in the child’s cognitive development because it marks the beginning of logical or operational thought. This means the child can work things out internally in their head (rather than physically try things out in the real world).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Concrete Operational Stage: 7 to 11 Years Major Characteristics and Developmental Changes: Children begin to thinking logically about concrete events.
