This is mostly affected by heredity factors, which dictate the pace of the development. Factors such as stress, poverty, abuse, experiences in the surrounding and lack of care have been seen to slow down and affect this process, which leads to difficulties in reasoning during adulthood (Johnson & Becker, 2011).
