Answer:
The best answer to the question: What part of Piaget´s theory is Trevor demonstrating, would be: symbolic thinking.
Explanation:
The development of cognitive capacities in both children and adults is a very interesting topic. How children think, how they reason and get to know the world and make sense of it is a topic that has been handled by several experts in psychology, but none as much as Jean Piaget, whose theories of child cognitive development have shaped up until now a lot of what we know about childhood development. In the case of Trevor, the three year old who is associating the action of going to work for his father, with going to the coffee shop, and thus ends up with the question if his father´s office is at the coffee shop, the part of Paiget´s theory that applies is symbolic thinking. Trevor has associated two concepts: his father going to work, and the coffee shop, and assigned them the idea that his father´s office is at the coffee shop, because that is where he sees his father going when he heads off to work. This is characteristic of symbolic meaning.
