Answer
False.Jean Piaget's second stage of cognitive development is the Preoperational Stage, but it occurs between the ages of approximately **2 and 7**, not 2.7. While children do develop language skills during this stage, including grammar and syntax, the hallmark of the preoperational stage is the development of **symbolic thought**, which allows children to represent objects and events mentally. This is evident in their increasing use of language, make-believe play, and drawing. However, their thinking is still limited by egocentrism (difficulty seeing things from another's perspective) and a lack of understanding of conservation (the principle that quantity remains the same despite changes in appearance).
