A characteristic of formal operational thinking = hypothetic-deductive reasoning. When faced with a problem they start with a hypothesis or prediction about variables that might affect the outcome‚ from which they deduce logical‚ testable inferences. Then they systematically isolate and combine variables

Piaget’s ideas have only really dominated our thinking about learning since the mid-sixties. His specific area of interest lay in biology and his quest to create a universal theory of biology and knowledge‚ applicable to all living systems‚ motivated his studies of children.

His contributions include a theory of cognitive child development‚ detailed observational studies of cognition in children‚ and a series of simple but ingenious tests to reveal different cognitive abilities. Before Piaget’s work‚ the common assumption in psychology was that children are merely less competent thinkers than adults which he disproved showing the strikingly different ways children think in comparison to adults.
