The Cognitive Revolution in Children's Understanding of Mind.
Astington, J. W.; Olson, D. R.
Human Development, v38 n4-5 p179-89 Jul-Oct 1995
Examines two theoretical approaches on how we understand our own and others' minds: a causal explanatory and an interpretive social approach. Explores the relations between these views and suggests that the real challenge of the cognitive revolution is to unite the two approaches, to achieve a causal naturalistic account of the acquisition and elaboration of meaning making.
