Which stage in Piaget's theory involves egocentric thinking, intelligence through the use of symbols, language, memory, and imagination, where thinking is nonlogical?

Concrete Operational (Piaget)
Formal Operational (Piaget)
Pre-Operational (Piaget)
Sensorimotor (Piaget)

The correct answer is: Pre-Operational (Piaget)

This stage involves egocentric thinking as children are unable to understand that others have different perspectives than their own. Their thinking is also nonlogical as they have not yet developed the ability to fully understand cause and effect relationships. While language, memory, and imagination are also developing at this stage, it is not the main focus as it is in the Pre-Operational stage. Additionally, the use of symbols is more advanced in the Formal Operational stage, where abstract thinking and hypothetical reasoning are prominent. The Concrete Operational stage focuses on developing logical thinking and understanding conservation and categorization, so it is not the correct answer either. The Sensorimotor stage, on the other hand, is the first stage in Piaget's theory where infants learn to coordinate their sensory input with motor actions, so it is not the correct answer either. Therefore, the correct answer is C Pre-Operational (Piaget).
