What is the purpose of Piaget's stages of cognitive development?

To measure physical growth over time
To track cognitive growth using abstract concepts
To better understand the influences on cognitive development
To assess the accuracy of a person's thinking

The correct answer is: To track cognitive growth using abstract concepts

Piaget's stages of cognitive development are designed to track the development of abstract thinking abilities as a person grows and matures. This includes understanding how individuals grasp and interpret their surroundings, how their thinking processes evolve, and how they develop their problem-solving skills. The other options do not accurately describe the purpose of Piaget's stages and may be related to other methods of measuring growth or assessing cognitive abilities. Therefore, they are incorrect.
