Feedback:
The adolescent is capable of abstract reasoning, which would be observed when the adolescent explains how working a part-time job will help pay for a car. All plastic remote controls breaking would be concrete thinking. Asking for a sharp item to cut meat is an example of preschool-age thinking. Saying that the dog moved the bicycle into the driveway is an example of preschool-age thinking.
