Child Development Research in Learning and Cognition in the 1980s: Continuities and Discontinuities from the 1970s.

Sigel, Irving E.

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v27 n4 p347-71 Oct 1981

Reviews continuities and discontinuities in the field of developmental psychology between 1970 and the early 1980s, limiting discussion to areas of cognition and learning. Three major theoretical trends are identified: Piagetian, behavioristic, and information-processing. The field is perceived as fragmented, and it is expected that such fragmentation will continue.
