Detailed explanation-1: -C. Explanation: The formal operational stage is characterized by the ability to use abstract reasoning, like predicting the consequences of hypothetical situations. This ability explains the onset of mature moral reasoning in adolescence.
Detailed explanation-2: -The formal operational stage is characterized by the ability to formulatehypotheses and systematically test them to arrive at an answer to a problem. The individual in the formal stage is also able to think abstractly and tounderstand the form or structure of a mathematical problem.
Detailed explanation-3: -Formal Operational Stage of Cognitive Development As adolescents enter this stage, they gain the ability to think in an abstract manner by manipulating ideas in their head, without any dependence on concrete manipulation (Inhelder & Piaget, 1958).
Detailed explanation-4: -Piaget stated that “hypothetico-deductive reasoning” becomes important during the formal operational stage. This type of thinking involves hypothetical “what-if” situations that are not always rooted in reality, i.e. counterfactual thinking.
Detailed explanation-5: -Which cognitive skill would a formal operations thinker possess that a concrete operational thinker would lack? Hypothetical-deductive reasoning. Which statement best describes Piaget’s theory on intelligence?
