Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The formal operational stage is the fourth and final stage in Piaget’stheory. It begins at approximately 11 to 12 years of age, and continuesthroughout adulthood, although Piaget does point out that some people may neverreach this stage of cognitive development.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Formal Operational Stage The final stage of Piaget’s theory involves an increase in logic, the ability to use deductive reasoning, and an understanding of abstract ideas.

Detailed explanation-3: -Formal Operational Stage Adolescents who reach this fourth stage of intellectual development–usually at age 11-plus–are able to use symbols related to abstract concepts, such as algebra and science. They can think about things in systematic ways, come up with theories, and consider possibilities.

Detailed explanation-4: -The formal operational stage begins at approximately age twelve and lasts into adulthood. 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-5: -What is this? However, children in the formal operational stage will often be more inventive. For example, they might say they would put it in their hand so they could see around corners. The above video shows a typical response of a young child to the third eye question.
