A person starts seeing the world “scientifically” and noticing different paths and outcomes to situations that arise along with abstract thoughts. This stage is where all of us college students and teachers are at. We continue through life in the Formal Operational stage until the last day, constantly assimilating and accommodating what we didn’t know and already know to further our knowledge.
