Description: Cognitive Developmental Change Theories, Models and Measurement This text examines the what, why and how of developmental change from a diverse range of perspectives. Andreas Demetriou (Edited by), Athanassios Raftopoulos (Edited by) 9780521825795, Cambridge University Press Hardback, published 6 January 2005 426 pages 22.9 x 15.2 x 2.7 cm, 0.52 kg Cognitive Developmental Change makes a fascinating contribution to the fields of developmental, cognitive and educational science by bringing together a uniquely diverse range of perspectives for analysing the dynamics of change. Connecting traditional Piagetian, information processing, and psychometric approaches with newer frameworks for the analysis of developmental change it provides the reader with an account of the latest theory and research at the time of publication. The contributors to the volume, all internationally respected experts, were asked when writing to consider three main aspects of cognitive change. Its object (what changes in the mind during development), its nature (how does change occur?) and its causes (why does change occur? Or, what are the internal and external factors responsible for cognitive change?). As a result chapters cover key theories of cognitive change, the factors that affect change including neurological, emotional and socio-cultural factors and methods for measuring and modelling change.
