This subject is on the A B honor roll and plays football for his school. His parents are both educated and they are both in the home and are part of the middle socioeconomic class.

In this particular stage, the individual learns to develop assumptions that are not often grounded in actuality, such as hypothetical deductive reasoning. Adolescents at this point in their development are moving from inductive to deductive reasoning. â€Å"Piaget and his colleagues developed an experiment called the â€Å"pendulum problem† with which they wanted to assess whether individuals had reached the formal operational stage. Classically, he had children balance a scale using different types of weights (Inhelder and Piaget, 1958).† It is only in the initial part of adolescence could children comprehend the connection between space or distance from the middle of the scale and the mass of the weights. This method involves a different lengths of string and a set of different sized weights.
