According to Piaget, which stage of cognitive development occurs between approximately ages 2 to 7 years, in which children's use of symbolic thinking grows, mental reasoning emerges, and the use of concepts increases

The correct answer is preoperational stage of cognitive development.

Explanation:

Piaget's theory of cognitive development is used in the fields of psychology and education. Piaget gave four stages of cognitive development that characterize different stages in the development of a child from his or her birth to adolescence that comprises development in the field of language, memory, morals, and reasoning.  

Of the four stages of Piaget's cognitive development, the preoperational stage can be witnessed in the children between the ages of 2 to 7. In the preoperational stage, a child's imagination and memory get develop, however, children at this stage are egocentric.
