formal operational child

[polaroidsky]

I really cannot accept that people don't reach this stage in normal development. I don't get what makes it so special. Can anybody help me understand?

[xxoocobraooxx]

Last kid is the next steve jobs of thumbs

[soshaljustic]

I do not think nor recall in pictures. No longer have that part of my brain and what is left of the right hemisphere is heavily damaged. I need written word instead of these videos to bring your message to me.

I think that kid at the end developed a lot faster than I did.

[SuperHurra]

They might've eventually realized that, if we had no thumbs,"thumb wars" wouldn't have ever been invented, people would have created another version of "thumbs up", and we'd have a different kind of writing utensil other than the pencil.

Both the sets of kids were formal-operational.

this is a rightey world.....I'm a lefty and in psychology i have to use the desk to my left to accommodate my hands.....

people in the class always tell me: This isn't Burger king you, can't always have it your way!!

....dumb kids..

[PaonSol]

When my psychology professor mentioned that only about half of our population ever manages to reach the formal operational stage, a lightbulb immediately popped up over my head.

So half our population is stuck in concrete operational stage and can't think abstractly? This almost completely explains Fox News!

[Ovidiu91]

@PaonSol Indeed, but this is yet a theory, and has it's flaws.

Small kid: We couldn't give a thumbs up

Big kid: We would all die

[TheRobineggs]

well see if we woke up tomorrow without thumbs it would be much different to if we never had thumbs in the first place because we wouldnt know the difference. thats what i wouldve said.

[Avatarfan10000]

@TheRobineggs thats like so many things if we woke up tomarrow and they said there where now 6 mouths we would have a lot of change but if we grow up with it and it was alwas like that than we would see no change

[TheRobineggs]

@Avatarfan10000 or what if its only you that had six mouth and the rest of the world only had one.... i think ive gotten off track

[edengrantspass1]

@TheRobineggs Would you have spelled correctly?

[TheRobineggs]

@edengrantspass1 deffinately not i cant spell well at all.

[marianasilvs]

whats the first kid's name? I can't get it. I really need to know.

[FlooDdaScript]

the second person is so hot!

[Wintersverd]

Go Righties!

[TroysChannel]

He made a shitty point of connecting the righty's story to the concept of missing thumbs.

And anyway, most high school kids would have probably said most of the the things that the younger kids said. That was B.S.

[TRIANGULOR]

most high school kids wouldn't have put nearly the effort into answering that question. Many adults choose to remain in the operational stage/ pre-formal operational stage because they can get through life like that and deep thinking can lead to inner crisis and uncertainty.

[AdioEmerica]

They should have asked a dumbass high schooler... That kid was a minority. :/ Just because one smart kid said some stuff in high school doesn't mean jack shit for the rest of the age group.

[purefunguy]

@AdioEmerica I am glad there is a smart person like you

[koendeboer]

smart kid at the end

[corbettripley]

cheeers!
