Question

Children are able to truly understand death when they have developed cognitive capacities for ______.A)  sadnessB)  empathyC)  sophisticated languageD)  abstract thinking

Aaron Peoples · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Abstract thinking is necessary for children to understand death as a concept and to comprehend that death is irreversible and universal. This ability typically develops during middle childhood (ages 7-11). While sadness and empathy are important emotional components in responding to death, they do not necessarily indicate a full understanding of what death means. Sophisticated language may be helpful in discussing death but is not a prerequisite for comprehension.
