Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The four stages are as follows: Sensorimotor: birth through ages 18-24 months. Preoperational: toddlerhood (18-24 months) through early childhood (age 7) Concrete operational: ages 7-12.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensorimotor stage (0–2 years old) Preoperational stage (2–7 years old) Concrete operational stage (7–11 years old) Formal operational stage (11 years old through adulthood)

Detailed explanation-3: -The pre-operational stage is one of Piaget’s intellectual development stages. It takes place between 2 and 7 years. At the beginning of this stage the child does not use operations, so the thinking is influenced by the way things appear rather than logical reasoning.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Theory of Cognitive Development by Jean Piaget, the Swiss psychologist, suggests that children’s intelligence undergoes changes as they grow. Cognitive development in children is not only related to acquiring knowledge, children need to build or develop a mental model of their surrounding world (Miller, 2011).
