What is the fourth stage of Piaget's theory?

  1. Sensorimotor

  2. Preoperational

  3. Concrete Operational

  4. Formal Operational

The correct answer is: Formal Operational

The fourth stage of Piaget's theory is Formal Operational. This stage occurs during adolescence and continues throughout adulthood. It is characterized by the ability to think about abstract concepts and use logical reasoning. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they represent the first three stages of Piaget's theory - Sensorimotor, Preoperational, and Concrete Operational, respectively. These stages occur earlier in development and involve the development of sensory and motor skills, symbolic thought, and logical thinking with concrete objects, respectively. Therefore, these options do not accurately represent the fourth stage of Piaget's theory, which is Formal Operational.
