Five-year-old Becky is playing with blocks, stacking them one on top of another until her

towers eventually tumble and then stacking them again. Which one of the following best

reflects Piaget's view of how Becky is probably learning in this situation?

a. She is absorbing information about how the environment behaves (e. g., "objects fall")

without consciously thinking about it.

b. Because she is probably still in the sensorimotor stage, she will remember what she

learns about the blocks only while the blocks are still in front of her.

c. She is actively thinking about and interpreting the results of her actions.

d. Because she builds one tower after another, she is obviously reinforced by watching her

towers tumble down.

C.) She is actively thinking about and interpreting the results of her actions.

Explanation:

Jean Piaget developed the theory of cognitive development. Under this theory, he focused on the way how children acquire knowledge and learning. It also highlights the nature of intelligence. In the above case, Becky can be noticed to acquire the understanding of stacking the blocks. She kept on practicing the activity. This symbolizes Piaget's theory of cognitive development.
