Originally published in 1976, the authors present a theory of
cognitive development based upon an information-processing
approach. This approach leads to the presentation of precise models
of performance on a number of tasks derived from a set of critical
quantitative concepts: elementary quantification, number concepts,
conservation and transitivity. These models encompass both early
and late developmental stages, and a process model of the
developmental mechanism itself is outlined. Here is one of the
first attempts to apply the information-processing view of
cognitive psychology to developmental issues raised by empirical
work in the Piagetian tradition. It includes an extensive analysis
of the processing demands of several of the classic tasks and
describes the development of a system capable of performing a wide
range of other tasks, including the ability to be self-modifying.
It provides an introduction to general concepts and detailed
properties of cognitive models stated as production systems. It
will be most valuable for students in cognitive development and
related courses in developmental, cognitive, and educational
psychology, as well as computer science.
