Post-Formal Operations? A Need for Further Conceptualization.
Kramer, D.A.
Human Development, v26 n2 p91-105 Mar-Apr 1983
Describes three unique characteristics of adult thought: (1) an understanding of the relativistic nature of knowledge, (2) an acceptance of contradiction as a part of reality, and (3) an integrative approach to thinking. Analysis of the philosophical foundations of these characteristics is followed by critical examination of current studies of postformal thought. (RH)
