Detailed explanation-1: -Preoperational Stage During this stage (toddler through age 7), young children are able to think about things symbolically. Their language use becomes more mature. They also develop memory and imagination, which allows them to understand the difference between past and future, and engage in make-believe.
Detailed explanation-2: -The child is again asked if the two glasses have the same amount of liquid. The preoperational child will typically say the taller glass now has more liquid because it is taller (as shown in c).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Preoperational Stage of Cognitive Development The child’s thinking during this stage is pre (before) operations. This means the child cannot use logic or transform, combine or separate ideas (Piaget, 1951, 1952).
Detailed explanation-4: -You’ve probably noticed that your child thinks of one thing: themselves. That’s perfectly normal for this developmental stage. They want that drink NOW-not after you’ve finished throwing the laundry into the dryer. Egocentrism also means that your child assumes that you see, hear, and feel the same things they do.
