Respuesta :

Sebastian accidentally drops the toy car but immediately begins looking for it which according to Piaget is the preoperational stage of development from two years to seven years of age.

Jean Piaget defined four stages of cognitive development in children. The first stage is sensorimotor from birth to two years of age. The second is the preoperational stage from two to seven years of age. The third is the concrete operational stage from seven to eleven years and the fourth is the formal operational stage from twelve years onwards.

In the preoperational stage, children learn symbols and relate one object with another but do not understand any concrete logic. They do not manipulate the information mentally. They learn object permanence which means they remember the object even if it is out of their sight.

Mental imagery capability also develops at this stage. Here Sebastian is looking for a toy car that he accidentally dropped. He remembers the object clearly and hence starts looking for it.
