According to Piaget, the four qualitatively different stages :

  • A.vary vastly across the various cultures in the world.
  • B.illustrate that children's minds are miniature adult minds.
  • C.are dependent upon the genetic codes of the children.
  • D.represent universal patterns of development of children.

Answer: D

Piaget's four stages represent universal patterns of development of children.

Piaget proposed the sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational stages as an invariant sequence that every child passes through in the same order, whatever the culture, although the age at which a stage is reached can vary.

He did not claim the stages vary vastly between cultures. His central idea was that children think in qualitatively different ways from adults, not that their minds are miniature adult minds. And he explained progress by the child's active construction through assimilation and accommodation, not by genetic codes alone.
