Early Adulthood: Cognitive Development

This video studies adult thinking and contrasts it with patterns in adolescence.

Adolescent thought, for example, tends to center on universal truths and rational absolutes, while young adult thinking is much more personal, practical, and integrative, due to the demands of adult life.

Major theories on the stages of adult cognitive development are presented, alongside a discussion of how life events, parenthood, and the pursuit of a higher education influence adult thinking.
