B Incorrect. Piaget did not theorize that development moves from head to toe--begins with the face and proceeds to the hands and feet (cephalocaudal development).
C Incorrect. Piaget did not theorize that development moves from easy to difficult--begins with smiling and proceeds to complex thinking.
D Incorrect. Piaget did not theorize that development moves from physical to neuronal--begins with small movements and proceeds to communication.
