1. Consider the difference between concrete and formal operations. How do children in these two stages differ in terms of cognition? Can these differences in cognition help us understand differences (if any) in children's emotional experience?


2. In terms of Piaget, how are infants and adolescents the same? How are they different?

3. If adolescents have the ability of formal operations, do they use it like adults? If not, what do they do differently?
