"The Cognitive Revolution in Children's Understanding of Mind" (Commentary On).

Fleisher, Feldman

Human Development, v38 n4-5 p194-202 Jul-Oct 1995

Examines Astington and Olson's proposal under the context of von Wright's and Hempel's theories of explanation and understanding. Suggests that for taking children's meaning making seriously, researchers should find a principled way to acknowledge the role of interpretation in scientific thinking even in the making of explanation itself.
