Hale, James P.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v20 n1 p77-85 Jan 1983
Investigated development of propositional logic and three formal logical schemata (underlying generic problem solving processes/operations) in adults (N=59) enrolled in their second year of medical school. Two students were formal on the 12-Piagetian tasks used, and the 57 remaining were classified as transitional formal. Implications are discussed. (Author/JN)
