A Social Learning Explanation for Age-Related Changes in Children's Conceptual Behavior
Zimmerman, Barry J.
Contemporary Educational Psychology, 3, 1, 11-9, Jan 78

This approach, relative to structuralist formulation, involves cognitive factors such as prior learning, as well as impinging social experience. It is compatible with Piaget's theory, yet simpler and more flexible. (CP)
