Willis made significant leaps in development during Piaget's ______________ stage, particularly in language development. He spoke in choppy sentences at the beginning, but had mastered most of the English language by the end.

Sensorimotor
Preoperational
Formal operational
Concrete operational

Answer 1

Willis made significant leaps in development during Piaget's **preoperational** stage, particularly in language development. In this stage, which typically occurs between ages 2 and 7, children begin to use language more effectively, though their speech may initially be more simplistic or choppy. By the end of this stage, they often have a much better grasp of language and are able to express themselves more fully.
