Which of the following is an example of Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development?

Language acquisition
Childhood social skills
Formal operational thinking
Physical development

The correct answer is: Formal operational thinking

Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development focuses on how children's thinking processes develop and mature over time. Language acquisition and childhood social skills are not examples of this theory as they do not directly relate to how children think and process information. Physical development is also not an example of this theory as it pertains to the changes in children's bodies rather than their cognitive abilities. Formal operational thinking, on the other hand, is a key concept in Piaget's Theory and refers to the ability to think abstractly and solve complex problems. This stage typically occurs during adolescence, making choice C the correct answer.
