C
It proposes discrete stages of development
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, it is clear from above that Piaget’s theory is different from others because it proposes a gradual increase in the number and complexity of behaviors, concepts, ideas, etc. It pertains to all the learners: Piaget’s Theory ignores postadolescence development.

Detailed explanation-2: -Piaget’s Theory Differs From Others In Several Ways: Children’s ability to understand, think about and solve problems in the world develops in a stop-start, discontinuous manner (rather than gradual changes over time). It is concerned with children, rather than all learners.

Detailed explanation-3: -Piaget influenced the field of developmental psychology because he showed that learning takes place through stages rather than just being acquired all at once. Anyone exploring a career in child psychology will no doubt come across his influential work.

Detailed explanation-4: -In contrast with Piaget’s theory of cognitive development that proposed development occurs in stages, information processing theory instead emphasizes a continuous pattern of development. Memory is one cognitive process that is commonly used to explain information processing theory.

Detailed explanation-5: -The fundamental difference between Piaget and Vygotsky is that Piaget believed in the constructivist approach of children, or in other words, how the child interacts with the environment, whereas Vygotsky stated that learning is taught through socially and culturally.
