They weren’t really concerned with emerging and early adulthood. Piaget felt like adults use the same type of reasoning as adolescents, so there really didn’t need to be another stage. I feel like there should be more theories involving adulthood, as adults continue to change and evolve. K. Warner Schaie proposed that adults progress exceeds those who are adolescents in their use of intellect. As people reach adulthood they start entering careers where they go from acquiring knowledge to applying knowledge. Adults also don’t think of the world in terms of polarities like adolescents do. They become more aware of the diverse opinions and multiple personalities of others. This causes them to have more reflective and relativistic thinking. Adult’s emotions are also changing during this time and might affect cognitive development. Emotional mature adults who are independent are more likely to engage in complex, integrated cognitive-emotional thinking. All of these changes could still could affect cognitive development. Developmental theorists such as Jean Piaget have helped pave the way for the understanding of how biology and experience help sculpt cognitive development. Although they have added a lot of knowledge, I feel like there is still more knowledge to be learned. I feel like more research needs to be done and more theories need to be created especially for the adult age
