An attempt was made to characterize and explain developmental differences in children’s thinking, specifically in their understanding ofbalance scale problems. Such differences were sought in three domains: existing knowledge about the problems, ability to acquire new information about them, and process-level differences underlying developmental changes in the first two areas. In Experiment I, ...
