Does the U in the U-Shaped Curve Also Stand for Universal? Reflections on Provisional Doubts.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Davis, Jessica – Studies in Art Education, 1997
Critiques the attempt by David Pariser and Axel van den Berg to apply the author's methods to a cross-cultural study. Argues that their study is too flawed to be definitive. Suggests means to test the universality of the U-curve as a cognitive development pattern or an artifact of culturally defined aesthetics. (DSK)
