Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Postformal thought has been suggested as a potential fifth stage of cognitive development by some theorists, characterized by the ability to think abstractly and flexibly, consider multiple perspectives and solutions, and use practical or contextual information to solve complex problems. Reflective thought and provisional thought are not typically considered distinct stages of cognitive development by mainstream theory, while superformal thought is not a commonly recognized term.
