GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

The student is likely in the preoperational stage of cognitive development, lacking logical thinking abilities. Concrete operational stage involves logical thinking about real events and mathematical concepts. Formal operational stage deals with abstract ideas and hypothetical situations.


Explanation:

The student is most likely in the preoperational stage of cognitive development, based on Piaget's theory. In this stage (age 2 to 7), children use symbols to represent words, images, and ideas, engaging in pretend play but struggle with logical thinking.

Unlike the concrete operational stage (ages 7 to 11) where children can think logically about real events, understand conservation, reversibility, and perform mathematical operations.

The next stage, the formal operational stage (adolescence and into adulthood), involves dealing with abstract ideas and hypothetical situations.
