The information processing view of cognitive development competes with Piaget’s model. Which of the following theories of information processing does not counter the corresponding stage of development in Piaget’s model?
  1. Children cannot coordinate memory with visual and manual tasks; sensorimotor stage
  2. Children understand conservation tasks, but cannot distinguish between different types of conservation due to language limitations; concrete operational stage
  3. Memory storage and the ability to use logic and deductive reasoning are not consistently present, but a result of better information-processing skills acquired by some children; formal operations stage
  4. Children are able to mentally transform an object and reverse this transformation, but may not be able to perform number conservation; preoperational stage
Explanation
Answer: D - The information processing view that children can perform some conservation tasks but not others is a response to Piaget’s concrete operational stage, not his preoperational stage.
