Cognitive Science Questions for Cognitive Development: The Concepts of Learning, Analogy, and Capacity.

Halford, Graeme S.; McCredden, J. E.

Learning and Instruction, v8 n4 p289-308 Aug 1998

The implications of three concepts from cognitive science for understanding of cognitive development are reviewed. These are (1) learning (and induction), (2) analogy, and (3) capacity. A model of analogical reasoning is discussed that specifies changes in representations over age that explain phenomena previously thought to be stage-related. (SLD)
