In which of Piaget's stages of cognitive development do children develop symbolic functioning, the ability to use symbols to represent what is not present?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Pre-operational Stage

Explanation:

The pre-operative phase is the second phase in the cognitive  development theory of Piaget.  This phase starts around 2 years of age when kids begin talking and lasts  until about 7 years of age.

Children start engaging in symbolic play during this phase and learn to control symbols.  Piaget observed, however, that concrete logic is not yet understood.
