Step-by-step explanation:

In the third stage of Piaget's theory of Cognitive development i.e., Concrete Operational Stage, Seriation is an important process. The third stage in this theory covers the age of 7-12 years.

Seriation is the ability of a child to sort objects according to its characteristics.
