Children were tested for classification…

A discussion of the computer "glass box", which is a bold new approach to teaching children concepts using A Programing Language. (Author)

A theory of instruction for problem solving that considers relevant cognitive variables and that specifies the conditions for productive learning is…

The first section of this report reviews traditional memory studies, which have provided much of our information concerning memory development. Major strengths and weaknesses of memory-development studies are illustrated by comparison with recent research into children's problem-solving skills. The report concentrates on one area of general…
