Information Processing Approaches to Cognitive Development

Abstract

This chapter reviews the history and current status of information- processing approaches to cognitive development. Because the approach is so pervasive, it is useful to characterize research in terms of distinctive features, and to organize the features according to whether they are 'soft-core or 'hard-core' aspects of the information processing approach, as follows: Features of soft-core information processing approaches: Theoretical features; Methodological features. Features of hard-core information processing approaches. Keywords: Information-processing; Cognitive development' Computer simulating.
