Abstract
This paper discusses adaptive cognitive changes in adulthood from the perspectives of adult cognitive development and social cognition theory. An interface is proposed between these two disciplines. More specifically, the post‐formal literature on cognitive development is applied to the area of attributional processes. Furthermore, this interface is translated into a research orientation to help clarify dimensions of adult cognitive development. Such an approach focuses on establishing adult developmental trends and patterns of making causal attributions as well as committing causal attributional biases. The implications changes in attributional processes may have for cognitive maturity and adult education are discussed.
