Question

Schaie’s stage, which begins in late adolescence, involves a drive toward independence. Within this stage individuals learn to make good decisions apart from parental control.

O True
O False

Answer 1

The correct answer is False

K. Warner Schaie proposed a complete model of stages of cognitive development from childhood to old age. These are seven stages of age-related cognitive development based on social roles and learning objectives:

• acquisitive stage;
• director stage;
• responsible internship;
• executive internship;
• reorganization stage;
• reintegrative stage;
• inheritance creation stage.

This model suggests the need to develop new types of intelligence tests that have ecological validity for adults.
