Answer

The correct statements are:

  • "Individuals acquire knowledge, intellect, and cognition over time."
  • "Intelligence is a natural ability that develops as a child grows and adapts to their environment."
  • "Children construct knowledge that evolves and changes over time."
  • "Children construct knowledge in new ways at critical points during development."
Explanation
Statement 1: "Individuals acquire knowledge, intellect, and cognition over time."

This statement aligns with Piaget's theory, which posits that cognitive development is a progressive reorganization of mental processes resulting from biological maturation and environmental experience.

Statement 2: "Intelligence is a natural ability that develops as a child grows and adapts to their environment."

Piaget believed that intelligence is not a fixed trait but rather a dynamic process that develops as children interact with their environment, supporting this statement.

Statement 3: "Children construct knowledge that evolves and changes over time."

This is consistent with Piaget's view that children are active learners who construct knowledge through their experiences, and this knowledge evolves as they grow.

Statement 4: "Children construct knowledge in new ways at critical points during development."

Piaget identified specific stages of cognitive development (sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational) where children construct knowledge in qualitatively different ways, supporting this statement.

Statement 5: "Adolescents achieve formal operational thought by 16 years of age."

While Piaget's theory suggests that the formal operational stage begins around age 11 and continues into adulthood, it does not specify that all adolescents achieve this stage by 16. The development of formal operational thought can vary among individuals.
