Explanation:

The Reflective Judgment Model is used in order to describe how people from adolescence going to adulthood develop "reasoning." This framework consists of 7 stages. These stages are categorized under three kinds of thinking (Pre-Reflective Reasoning, Quasi-Reflective Reasoning and Reflective Reasoning).
