Peer reviewedMitchelmore, Michael – Hiroshima Journal of Mathematics Education, 1994
Proposes a model of mathematics conceptual development consisting of two phases: abstraction and generalization. Illustrates model by references to the development of multiplication and angle concepts. (19 references) (MKR)

Peer reviewedBrowder, Diane M.; And Others – Journal of Special Education, 1987
Observational learning is theoretically conceptualized as a skill that can be developed along a learning hierarchy from acquisition and fluency development to generalization of imitative behavior. This review characterizes these levels of observational learning and details differential teaching strategies that have been attempted at each level…

Peer reviewedKatims, David S. – Preventing School Failure, 1990
The article presents a model of learning based on the four learning stages of (1) acquisition, (2) proficiency, (3) maintenance, and (4) generalization. The importance of directing instruction at the appropriate learning stage is stressed and examples are given. (DB)

Sierpinska, Anna – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1993
Examines operations of generalization, identification, discrimination, and synthesis in mathematical concept development from early childhood to late adolescence according to Vygotsky's theory of development. (MDH)

The Model of Conceptual Learning and Development (CLD) is an analytical, descriptive model. It defines four levels of concept attainment and the possible uses and extensions of attained concepts, specifies the cognitive operations involved in learning concepts at each of the four levels, and postulates internal and external conditions of learning…

Forbus, Kenneth D.; Gentner, Dedre – 1986
People use and extend their knowledge of the physical world constantly. Understanding how this fluency is achieved would be an important milestone in understanding human learning and intelligence, as well as a useful guide for constructing machines that learn. This paper presents a theoretical framework that is being developed in an attempt to…
