Module 7 post 2

The first little boy in the clip was in the concrete operational stage, while the second child was in the formal operational stage. The first child could not think abstractly and listen to the rules that were given. The researcher told the boy that the feather would break the glass, and the little boy knew it was not possible no matter how she stated it. The older child understood the question asked, and knew how to answer the question correctly, that the feather would break the glass. The little boy would understand more direct examples to make connections, while the older girl can understand “outside the box” thinking and can challenge her to be more abstract.
