Question

Most teenagers, especially those who graduate from high school with a standard diploma, are at the level of thinking that Jean Piaget identified as___________.

Answer 1

Formal operational thinking

Step-by-step explanation:

Jean Piaget was a psychologist that developed a theory of cognitive development according to which we go through different stages during childhood and adolescence in which our thinking gets more complex until we reach the logic reasoning during adolescence.

According to Piaget, the last stage is known as Formal operational stage and it takes place starting at age 12 and through the rest of the adolescence. During this stage, adolescents start to think in a more abstract way and they reach a logic way of thinking.

Since teenagers that graduate from high school are approximately 18 years old, we can say that most of them are at the formal operational level of thinking.
