This book explores the development of cognitive skills related to
reasoning and creativity, two strands that can intertwine to work
together at times but may also be at odds. Spontaneity and freedom
from constraint, characteristic of the thinking of young children,
may be essential to creativity, which has prompted many to question
how much we lose as we progress through childhood. Research and
common sense tell us that effort, practice, and study are necessary
for the highest levels of creative accomplishment, yet such
intentional exertions seem antithetical to these hallmarks of
creativity. In this revised and expanded second edition, leading
scholars shed new light on creativity's complex relationship to the
acquisition of domain-based skills and the development of more
general logical reasoning skills. Creativity and Reason in
Cognitive Development will be an essential reference for
researchers, psychologists, and teachers seeking to better
understand the most up-to-date work in the field.
