industry v. inferiority stage - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-children between the ages 5 and 12 develop a
growing sense of competence and accomplishment as they develop a greater understanding of their
capabilities and limitations
concrete operational stage - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-in children between ages 7 and 11, thinking
