Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
The formal operations level includes the ability for future thinking and for problem-solving com-plex issues. 1. The preoperational level is primarily here-and-now thinking. 2. The concrete opera-tions level allows the child to think about past and present events but not future ones. 4. Post-conventional is one of Kohlberg's stages of moral development.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
According to Kohlberg, moral development is influenced by the forms of justice to which a child is exposed. Option 1 may impede the introjection of values. Option 3 has no connection to moral development, per se. Option 4 may impede the child's ability to develop his or her own schema.
