Este artículo presenta una revisión de los trabajos sobre el pensamiento formal, realizados entre 1970 y 1980, centrándose en tres aspectos fundamentales: estilos cognitivos, desfases horizontales y la influencia del contenido de las tareas formales. En cuanto al primero de estos aspectos se revisan los trabajos que muestran a los sujetos independientes de campo tienen más facilidad que los dependientes de campo para producir una actuación formal. Se analizan brevemente las estrategias que realizan estos dos tipos de sujetos. En lo que se refiere al problema de los desfases horizontales se presentan resultados de trabajos que muestran como tareas con la misma estructura formal se resuelven en distintos momentos del desarrollo. Por ultimo se revisan trabajos que han demostrado cómo influye en la resolución de los problemas formales, la familiaridad que los sujetos tengan con ellos. Este artículo se ha estructurado, en parte, siguiendo algunas de las ideas de la teona neopiagetiana de los operadores constructivos de Pascual-Leone.
