Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development focuses on how individuals progress through different stages of moral reasoning.
Recognize that Kohlberg proposed that moral development is closely linked to a person's ability to think and reason about ethical dilemmas, which is a cognitive process.
Identify that physical maturation, emotional intelligence, and social conformity are factors that can influence behavior but are not the primary drivers of moral development according to Kohlberg.
Recall that Kohlberg emphasized cognitive development as the key factor that advances a person's morality, meaning that as a person's thinking skills mature, their moral reasoning becomes more sophisticated.
Conclude that the correct answer is cognitive development because it directly relates to the progression through Kohlberg's stages of moral reasoning.
