Across the Great Divide: Bridging the Gap between Understanding of Toddlers' and Older Children's Thinking.
Chen, Zhe; Siegler, Robert S.
Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, v65 n2 p1-96 2000
Analyzed 1.5- and 2.5-year-olds' problem solving and learning. Found that changes in toddlers' strategies could be assessed reliably on a trial-by-trial basis, that changes followed the basic form predicted by the overlapping waves model, and that analyses could reveal information about the qualitative and quantitative aspects of their learning. Toddlers emerged as active learners who integrated their own problem-solving efforts with previous instruction. (Author/KB)
