✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, during the 'Formal Operational Stage' lasting from about 11 years to adulthood, children's thinking becomes more scientific and flexible. In this stage, children acquire the capacity for 'Hypothetical-Deductive Reasoning' and 'Combinatorial Thinking'. Through this, they can systematically combine all possible variables to solve a problem and logically consider abstract ideas.
