In the scenario described, Aaron, who is 10 years old and starting to think logically about events, would be in Piaget's stage called the concrete operational stage. This stage typically occurs around the ages of 7 to 11 years old.
Here's why Aaron would fit into the concrete operational stage:
1. **Characteristics of Concrete Operational Stage:**
- Children in this stage begin to think logically about concrete events but have difficulty understanding abstract or hypothetical concepts.
- They develop the ability to perform operations on objects that are real and can be seen.
- They start to understand conservation (e.g., that the amount of liquid remains the same even if poured into a different shaped glass).
2. **Examples in Aaron's Behavior:**
- Aaron being able to understand simple logical principles and solve concrete problems aligns with the characteristics of the concrete operational stage.
- His ability to think through real-world situations and use logic to make decisions further supports the notion that he is in the concrete operational stage.
In summary, based on Aaron's age of 10 and his logical thinking about events, he would be placed in Piaget's concrete operational stage.
