A nursery teacher, Chloe, observes two children playing. Five-year-old Max insists that a taller, thinner glass contains more juice than his original short, wide glass, even though he saw the juice poured from one to the other. Meanwhile, when describing a model village from his own perspective, he insists that his friend on the opposite side of the table sees the exact same view as him.
With reference to Chloe's observations, outline Piaget's pre-operational stage of cognitive development. Evaluate Piaget's theory and research in relation to this stage.

Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
