According to Piaget, at what stage does abstract thinking begin to develop ?
Answer: D
According to Piaget, abstract and hypothetical thinking begins in the formal operational stage, from about 11 or 12 years. The sensory motor stage runs from birth to about two years, the pre-operational from two to seven and the concrete operational from seven to eleven, in which thinking is tied to concrete objects. The answer is the formal operational stage. Piaget's four stages are the sensory motor, the pre-operational, the concrete operational and the formal operational, and only the last allows the pupil to reason with ideas and hypotheses. Earlier stages depend on actions or on concrete objects, so they cannot be the start of abstract thought.
