Description
Cognitive Development: An Information-Processing View by David Klahr and J. G. Wallace presents a theory of cognitive development based on an information-processing approach. This approach is applied to tasks such as elementary quantification, number concepts, conservation, and transitivity, providing precise models of performance. The book outlines both early and late developmental stages, and describes the development of a system capable of performing various tasks, including self-modifying abilities. It also introduces general concepts and detailed properties of cognitive models stated as production systems. Valuable for students in cognitive development and related courses, this book provides an introduction to key concepts and theoretical frameworks in psychology.
