Question

Aliyah thinks that her sister is a princess when she wears a tiara in her hair and a servant when she wears old clothes. Aliyah is in the _____ stage and is probably _____. formal operations; in preschool preoperations; in preschool formal operations; older than 7 preoperations; older than 8

Answer 1

Answer: Aliyah is in the PREOPERATIONAL STAGE and is probably in PRESCHOOL.

Explanation: The preoperational stage is a Piagetian stage of child development characterized by sparse and logically inadequate mental operations and inability to reason or work with symbols. This stage begins around age 2, as children start to talk, and lasts until approximately age 7.

Preschool relates to the years of early childhood before attendance of primary school.

To be fair, even in the preoperational stage, anyone in primary school should be able to at least be able to distinguish that wearing a tiara does not make one a real princess and wearing old clothes does not make one a servant. This is evident of the reasoning of one in preschool.

Answer 2

The correct answer is Preoperational; in preschool

During this stage, children develop their imagination and memory. They are also able to understand the idea of ​​past and future, and to interpret things symbolically.

The thinking in this phase is still self-centered, so the child has difficulty seeing the point of view of others.
