The child has no powers of reflection - no second-order thoughts which deal
critically with his (sic) own thinkingŠIn contrast, the adolescent is able
to analyze his own thinking and construct theoriesŠOf course, the girls are
more interested in marriage, but the husband they dream of is most often
³theoretical², and their thoughts about married life as well take on the
characteristics of ³theories².
