The Psychology of the Child
TLDR
In this article, the authors discuss factors in mental development, including the development of perception, concepts, and operations of thought and interpersonal relations, as well as the three levels in the transition from action to operation.Abstract:

Research Paradigms and Perspectives on Learning
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe how eight prevailing research paradigms have influenced and still strongly influence theory development in the field of educational communications and technology, and argue that research is typically done within one particular paradigm, but that researchers should be conscious of the fact that paradigm heavily affect their research methods and findings.

Math as a Second Language
TL;DR: For instance, this article suggested that algebra equations are riddles in math and that algebra and advanced algebra often become incomprehensible when fluency is weak and the subject is not understood, and that learners often enter zones of proximal learning where they begin to monitor their environment and watch others for clues on how to proceed.

Re-thinking stages of cognitive development: an appraisal of connectionist models of the balance scale task.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that strongly suggests that the networks are unable to acquire a mastery of torque and, although they do recover certain rules of operation that humans do, they also show a propensity to acquire rules never previously seen.

Nonlinear Regime-Switching State-Space (RSSS) Models
Sy Miin Chow,Guangjian Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: The utility of nonlinear RSSS models is illustrated by fitting a nonlinear dynamic factor analysis model with regime-specific cross-regression parameters to a set of experience sampling affect data.

Constructing a New Theory From Old Ideas and New Evidence
Marjorie Rhodes,Henry M. Wellman +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that only children who were conceptually close to understanding false belief at the beginning of the study, and who were experimentally exposed to evidence of people acting on false beliefs, reliably developed representational theories of minds.
