While the notion of generalization fits prominently into
cognitive theories of learning, there is surprisingly little
research literature that takes an overview of the issue from a
broad multifaceted perspective. This volume remedies this by taking
a multidisciplinary perspective on generalization of knowledge from
several fields associated with Cognitive Science, including
Cognitive Neuroscience, Computer Science, Education, Linguistics,
Developmental Science, and Speech, Language and Hearing
Sciences.
Researchers from each perspective explain how their field
defines generalization - and what practices, representations,
processes, and systems in their field support generalization. They
also examine when generalization is detrimental or not needed. A
principal aim is the identification of general principles about
generalization that can be derived from triangulation across
different disciplines and approaches.
Collectively, the contributors multidisciplinary approaches to
generalization provide new insights into this concept that will, in
turn, inform future research into theory and application, including
tutoring, assistive technology, and endeavors involving
collaboration and distributed cognition.
