Although current views of cognitive development owe a great deal to
Jean Piaget, this field has undergone profound change in the years
since Piaget's death. This can be witnessed both in the influence
connectionist and dynamical system models have exerted on theories
of cognition and language, and in how basic work in cognitive
development has begun to influence those who work in applied (e.g.,
educational) settings. This volume brings together an eclectic
group of distinguished experts who collectively represent the full
spectrum of basic to applied aspects of cognitive development. This
book begins with chapters on cognition and language that represent
the current Zeitgeist in cognitive science approaches to cognitive
development broadly defined. Following a brief commentary on this
work, the next section turns to more applied issues. Although the
focus here is on arithmetic learning, the research programs
described have profound implications for virtually all aspects of
education and learning. The last chapter views cognitive
development from the perspective of ethology and evolutionary
biology, and in so doing provides a theoretical perspective that is
novel and in some ways, prescient: specifically, how can our views
of cognition incorporate recent work in biology?
