A core change unique to formal operations is that teens can: read at a much higher level. conserve much better. really take another person's point of view. reason abstractly about hypothetical possibilities.

In Piaget's Formal Operations stage, teens are able to "reason abstractly about hypothetical possibilities". An example of this is being able to complete abstract mathematical algorithms or problems without a concrete model. Teens are also able to think creatively in this stage.
