This book examines a key issue in current cognitive theories - the
nature of representation. Each chapter is characterized by attempts
to frame hot topics in cognitive development within the landscape
of current developmental theorizing and the past legacy of genetic
epistemology. The chapters address four questions that are
fundamental to any developmental line of inquiry: How should we
represent the workings and contents of the mind? How does the child
construct mental models during the course of development? What are
the origins of these models? and What accounts for the novelties
that are the products and producers of developmental change? These
questions are situated in a historical context, Piagetian theory,
and contemporary researchers attempt to trace how they draw upon,
depart from, and transform the Piagetian legacy to revisit classic
issues such as the child's awareness of the workings of mental
life, the child's ability to represent the world, and the child's
growing ability to process and learn from experience. The
theoretical perspectives covered include constructivism,
connectionism, theory-theory, information processing, dynamical
systems, and social constructivist approaches. The research areas
span imitation, mathematical reasoning, biological knowledge,
language development, and theory of mind. Written by major
contributors to the field, this work will be of interest to
students and researchers wanting a brief but in-depth overview of
the contemporary field of cognitive development.
