Dimensions of Change: A Semantic and Mathematical Analysis of Learning and Development.
van Geert, Paul
Human Development, v38 n6 p322-31 Nov-Dec 1995
Argues that what matters is not the difference between learning and development, but the dynamic relationships that form the key to understanding. Examined two models of these relationships: (1) a semantic approach, distinguishing five dimensions along which learning and development can be compared; and (2) a mathematical nonlinear growth model specifying differences between classic learning curves and developmental curves.
