Reversibility

Ability to perform mental inversions, or to mentally undo a sequence of actions. This enhances ability to figure out mathematical problems, and draw conclusions about observed outcomes on the basis of prior relationships--not just concrete or tangible appearances. This evidences sensitivity to distinctions between what seems to be and what really is. [Piaget]
