What Do Tests of "Formal" Reasoning Actually Measure?.
Lawson, Anton E.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v29 n9 p965-83 Nov 1992
Reports a study of 922 college students that classified the students based on performance on formal operational reasoning tasks. Students were also administered seven logic tasks. Response patterns were analyzed and found to be similar to patterns derived from the multiple-hypothesis theory of advanced scientific reasoning and different from those predicted from Piagetian theory.
