A Psycho-logic of Motion.
Ogborn, Jon; Bliss, Joan
European Journal of Psychology of Education, v5 n4 p379-90 Dec 1990
Offers a theory of how commonsense reasoning about motion may develop. Takes as fundamental the basic categories: action, object, space, cause, time, and movement. Suggests that very primitive elements could combine to provide schemes of motion recognizable in psychological accounts of infancy and generate prototypes of and rules for motion. (DK)
