Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that Piaget's Cognitive Developmental Theory outlines four distinct stages of cognitive development that occur in a specific sequence as children grow.
Identify each stage and its typical age range: Sensorimotor (birth to ~2 years), Preoperational (~2 to 7 years), Concrete Operational (~7 to 11 years), and Formal Operational (from ~12 years onward).
Recognize that the correct order follows the progression from infancy through adolescence, starting with Sensorimotor and ending with Formal Operational.
Compare the given options to this sequence to determine which one matches the correct chronological order of the stages.
Confirm that the correct order is: Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, Formal Operational.
