Explanation:

Question 1

Jean Piaget identified the thinking patterns in adolescence as formal operational thought. This stage involves abstract thinking, logical reasoning, and hypothetical-deductive reasoning.

During adolescence (formal operational stage), teenagers can consider multiple possibilities, which greatly enhances their problem - solving capacity. The ability to think about various potential scenarios (multiple possibilities) leads to an improvement (enhances) in how well they can solve problems.

The cognitive gains in adolescence allow them to deal with strong emotional feelings using logic (or rational thought). With formal operational thinking, they can analyze their emotions in a more logical way, rather than being purely driven by the emotions themselves.

Answer:

formal operational thought
