One of the issues central to both classic and contemporary theories
of cognitive development is children's goal-directed behavior,
which is typically investigated in terms of strategies. This book
brings together in one volume the latest research and theory
regarding the development of children's strategies for a variety of
cognitive tasks. Opening with a history of strategy development
research and concluding with a chapter that integrates the
diversity of ideas expressed by the contributors, Children's
Strategies offers intervening chapters that examine strategy
development for attention, analogical reasoning, mathematics,
memory, reading, and problem solving in infancy. Although there is
much common ground shared by the various contributors to this
volume, there is no consensus concerning what exactly a strategy
is. This mixture of consensus and disagreement reflects both the
explosion of research in this area since the late 1960's and the
complexity of the issues involved. It also reflects the fact that
this is a topic that is very much alive in cognitive circles, one
that will continue to stimulate research for years to come. The
papers in this volume describe current research and theory
concerning the development of children's strategies for handling a
variety of cognitive tasks. After providing a historical view of
the concept of strategies in cognitive development, the book
highlights many of the issues of concern to contemporary
developmental psychologists interested in strategies. The issues
discussed include problem solving in infancy, memory, selective
attention, mathematics, analogical reasoning, and reading.
