Cognitive Objects.
Hodgkin, Robin A.
Oxford Review of Education, v14 n3 p353-62 1988
Reflecting on obsessional play objects of infants, Hodgkin suggests that a proper understanding of these "transitional" or "cognitive" objects could lead to an educational model of a "learner" involving a number of human competencies, all developing synergistically. Contends that such a model may be truer to life than the more unified and hierarchical picture of the learner. (GEA)
