Jean Piaget believed that the appearance-reality distinction emerges around the age of 5 or 6 years. This development is part of his theory of cognitive development, particularly during the concrete operational stage, which typically occurs between the ages of 7 and 11. Prior to this age, children often struggle to differentiate between how things appear and what they really are, showing evidence of understanding this distinction as they grow older.
