UGC NET - 2012,
Answer: B
The correct matching is p-3, q-1, r-2, s-4. Egocentric thought is a feature of the preoperational stage, object permanence is acquired in the sensorimotor stage, abstract reasoning belongs to the formal operational stage, and conservation and reversibility are marks of the concrete operational stage.
The other codes give object permanence to a later stage or abstract reasoning to the concrete stage, which is wrong.
