Lawrence Kohlberg modified and expanded Piaget's work, laying the groundwork for modern studies on moral development. On which of the following tenets did the two disagree?

A. that children under 12 years of age could develop moral values
B. that children form ways of thinking through their experiences
C. that the process of moral maturity took longer than 12 years
D. that children under 12 years of age could understand moral concepts
E. that all moral values are determined at birth

C. that the process of moral maturity took longer than 12 years

Consistent with Piaget, Lawrence Kohlberg proposed that children form ways of thinking through their experiences that include understanding of moral concepts such as justice, rights, equality, and human welfare. Kohlberg differed from Piaget in that he followed the development of moral judgment beyond the ages studied by Piaget, and he determined that the process of attaining moral maturity took longer and was more gradual than Piaget had proposed.
