Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Piaget's theory of cognitive development proposes four stages of development, with the fourth and final stage being formal operational reasoning. This stage typically occurs during adolescence and involves the ability to think abstractly, reason logically, and consider hypothetical situations. As such, most young adolescents who receive a formal high school education would be expected to be at this level of thinking, which is characterized by advanced cognitive abilities. The other options listed (preoperational, preconventional, and identity versus role confusion) are associated with earlier stages of development and do not describe the cognitive abilities and characteristics of a typically developing high school student.
