Piaget's Formal Operational Stage
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
In Piaget's formal operational stage, from about age twelve, reasoning extends to abstract and hypothetical propositions.
Show
An adolescent can argue from a premise they believe to be false and follow it to its consequences.
Watch for
Formal operational reasoning is not reached universally, and adults use it selectively by domain.
