Answer: C
Piaget described cognitive development as occurring in four qualitatively different stages.
The four stages are sensorimotor (birth to about 2 years), preoperational (2 to 7), concrete operational (7 to 11) and formal operational (11 onwards). Each is a different kind of thinking, not just more of the same. They occur in a fixed, invariant order, and Piaget regarded them as universal.
A continuous continuum is the opposite of a stage theory. Piaget did not see his stages as culture-specific; that criticism came from his critics. 'Three progressive levels' describes Kohlberg's levels of moral reasoning, not Piaget's stages.
