Option 4 : The stages are invariant which means that no stage can be skipped.

​Jean Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development:
  • Jean Piaget observed his children and their process of making sense of the world around them and developed a model of how the mind processes new information encountered.
  • According to him, cognitive structures are the basic mental pattern people use to process any information.

Piaget explained that children progress through four stages. The Four Stages of Cognitive Development are as follows:-

  • Cognitive development is not a continuous process, it occurs in the above 4 stages.
  • The stages are invariant which means that no stage can be skipped.
  • According to Piaget, assimilation, accommodation, and equilibrium are the ways through which children integrate new experiences into already existing cognition structures (schema). 

Hence, it becomes clear that the stages are invariant which means that no stage can be skipped.
