Research on visual working memory has focused on characterizing the nature of capacity limits as "slots" or "resources" based almost exclusively on adults' performance with little consideration for developmental change. Here we argue that understanding how visual working memory develops can shed new light onto the nature of representations. We present an alternative model, the Dynamic Field The...

While still at school, most of us are deeply impressed by the underlying principles that so beautifully explain why the chemical elements are ordered as they are in the periodic table, and may wonder, with the theoretician Brian Goodwin, "whether there might be equally powerful principles that account for the awe-inspiring diversity of body forms in the living realm". We have considered the arg...

I suggest that the constructivist developmental framework in psychology is of real significance for advancing our understanding on rational action and normative commitment in social action dilemmas. Yet, the recognition of the implications of the developmental perspective to deal with intersubjective conflicts of action has been hindered by often undisputed epistemological presuppositions which...

According to some views of cognitive growth, the development of working memory capacity can account for increases in the complexity of cognition. It has been difficult to ascertain, though, that there actually is developmental growth in capacity that cannot be attributed to other developing factors. Here we assess the role of item familiarity. We document developmental increases in working memo...

How do our mental representations of number change over development? The dominant view holds that children (and adults) possess multiple representations of number, and that age and experience lead to a shift from greater reliance upon logarithmically organized number representations to greater reliance upon more accurate, linear representations. Here we present a new theoretically motivated and...

objectives: the aim of this research is to compare cognitive flexibility and adjustment between two groups of students with developmental coordination disorder (dcd) and typically developing students. methods: for this purpose, 50 students with dcd and 50 typically developing students were chosen among 12 primary schools. the developmental coordination disorder questionnaire (dcd-q), adjustment...

Organizations present their existence on social media to gain followers and reach out the crowds. Social media-related tasks applications, such as graph construction, sentiment analysis, bot detection, are required identify entities' account types. Some applications focus personal accounts, whereas others only need nonpersonal accounts. This paper addresses classification problem using minimum ...
