Q

what are the characteristics of formal-operational thought?

A

A scientific, hypothetic-deductive approach to problem-solving, awareness of reality as a specific case within an infinite range of possibilities, systematic consideration of all possible combinations of variables and all possible problem solutions keeping track of all combinations, awareness of reciprocity and negation as two kinds of reversibility, along with an ability to coordinate negation and reciprocity with one another to restore equilibrium and solve problems formulated as equations, a clear understanding of ratios and proportionality, together with concepts o probability and partial association (correlation), a logical understanding of abstract, higher-order and intangible concepts, an understanding of formal properties of logical proposition such as tautology and contradiction together with the ability to reason logically about scenarios that violate that factual conditions everyday experience.

Q

What is the impact of formal operational thought on adolescence?

A

people become more critical of adult authority, and can argue more skillfully; they are better able to understand philosophical and abstract topics at school; may become more judgemental about perceived short-comings of social systems; may try to apply logic to better, more complex problems such as world peace (may appear more narrative)

Q

What is the Heinz Dilemma?

A

“In Europe, a woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to make. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug.

The sick woman’s husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $ 1,000 which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said: “No, I discovered the drug and I’m going to make money from it.” So Heinz got desperate and broke into the man’s store to steal the drug-for his wife. Should the husband have done that?”
