The Development of Mental Processing integrates several
psychological approaches in order to create a more comprehensive
theoretical system. This system is tested through a longitudinal
study of children 8 to 16 years of age, where findings show that it
is ones efficiency at processing information, which has the
greatest impact on the development of the working memory. This
working memory, in turn, becomes the underlying factor determining
individual differences in thinking.
- Study presenting a developing comprehensive theorhetical system
and showing its evolution.
- Includes commentary by Kurt Fischer and Theo Dawson.
- An interesting monograph for both students and researchers about the process of theory creation as much as the study's findings.
