Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate U.S. college healthcare providers' perceptions of ADHD.
  • To identify barriers in diagnosing and treating ADHD among college students.

Main Methods:

  • A survey with 37 questions was administered to physicians, nurses, and directors in college healthcare settings.
  • Data was collected via mail or telephone, with participants compensated for their time.

Main Results:

  • 38% of providers viewed ADHD as a significant problem within their institutions.
  • While 48% felt comfortable recognizing ADHD, 92% referred students for evaluation.
  • Over 90% agreed on the potential need for medication, yet only 52% prescribed pharmacotherapy.

Conclusions:

  • College healthcare providers acknowledge the importance of addressing ADHD.
  • Provider discomfort in diagnosing and treating ADHD poses a barrier to student care.
