Abstract
Researchers in cognitive development have suggested that adult thinking becomes more functional, contextual, or relativistic; however, considerable diversity pervades conceptualizations of this relativism. This diversity, in fact, reflects differences in the theorists'' beliefs about the contextual constraints on relatism in the later stages of adult thinking. These constraints are differentiated as examples of Mandelbaum''s subjective, objective, or conceptual types of relativisms.
