Although they can **understand concrete problems** and develop reasoning skills, according to Piaget they still **cannot analyze abstract problems** and all of their logical consequences. | * **Concrete-operational period** (7 to 11 years): Children in this stage of development are able to analyze more perspectives simultaneously.

| * **Formal-operational period** (11 to adolescence) : Piaget claims that the **final form of cognition** is reached in this stage. Abstract thinking capabilities in this stage are very similar to ones of adults. Individual at this stage is also capable of **hypothetical and deductive** but also **reflective and analytical reasoning skills**. This is supposed to be the final stage of cognitive development and although the knowledge base of an individual is still to be expanded, his thinking capabilities are now as strong as they would get. | * **Formal-operational period** (11 to adolescence) : Piaget claims that the **final form of cognition** is reached in this stage.
