Sample question
Piaget – formal operations · medium
A teacher asks students to propose, test and revise explanations for why a pendulum's period changes. This activity mainly develops which feature of adolescent thinking?
- A. Object permanence
- B. Hypothetico-deductive reasoning
- C. Conservation of liquid
- D. Animistic thinking
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B
Hypothetico-deductive reasoning – forming hypotheses, deducing consequences and testing them systematically – is the hallmark of formal operations in early adolescence. Object permanence is infancy, conservation is middle childhood, and animism belongs to the preoperational stage.
