The Development of Mental Processing: Efficiency, Working Memory, and Thinking.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Demetriou, Andreas; Christou, Constantinos; Spanoudis, George; Platsidou, Maria – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2002
Examined, over 1 year, relations between information processing efficiency, working memory, and problem solving in sample of 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-year-olds. Identified three-stratus hierarchy with individual dimensions organized in three constructs: processing efficiency, working memory, and problem solving. Found that individual dimensions were…

The Architecture and Dynamics of Developing Mind: Experiential Structuralism as a Frame for Unifying Cognitive Developmental Theories.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Demetriou, Andreas; And Others – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1993
Presents a theory of cognitive development that postulates a general cognitive processing system, a hypercognitive system governing self-regulation, and specialized structural systems responsible for processing different reality domains. Suggests five principles that serve as organizational pivots of developing cognition. Reports the results of…

A New Kind of Developmental Science: Using Models To Integrate Theory and Research.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fischer, Kurt W.; Dawson, Theo L. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2002
Maintains that Demetriou and his colleagues' project shows how developmental scientists can assess concepts from multiple frameworks and relate them through explicit modeling and targeted research to build explanations powerfully grounded in data and theory. Presents doubts related to specific conclusions because of issues related to the design of…
