Creating the Conditions for Cognitive Change: The Interaction between Task Structures and Specific Strategies.
Thornton, Stephanie
Child Development, v70 n3 p588-603 May-Jun 1999
Proposes that conceptual change is constrained by the child's conceptual structures and the structures inherent in problem-solving tasks. Uses a microgenetic case study and group data to examine how interaction between strategies children bring to a task and the detailed task structure redirect children's attention and create the possibility of new discoveries not prefigured in the child's original approach.
