As individuals mature intellectually and undergo the sorts of cognitive changes characteristic of adolescence, they come to conceive of themselves in more sophisticated and more differentiated ways. Adolescents are much more capable than children of thinking about abstract concepts and considerably more proficient in processing large amounts of information. These intellectual capabilities affect the way in which individuals characterize themselves. Compared with children, who tend to describe themselves in relatively simple, concrete terms, adolescents are more likely to employ complex, abstract, and psychological self-characterizations. In addition, with development comes greater consistency between how individuals describe themselves and how they actually behave. There is also evidence that adolescents' ideas about the sort of person they would like to be [their "ideal self"] become more stable over time
