Cognitive Development in Adulthood: A Fifth Stage?
Arlin, Patricia Kennedy
Developmental Psychology, 11, 5, 602-606, Sep 75
This study suggests a fifth Piagetian stage and offers empirical evidence in its support. Piaget's traditional fourth stage (formal operations) is operationally defined as the problem-solving stage and the suggested fifth stage as the problem-finding stage. The commonly accepted criteria for a stage model are applied. (JMB)
