Theories of adult reasoning propose that reasoning consists of two functionally distinct systems that operate under entirely different mechanisms. This theoretical framework has been used to account for a wide range of phenomena, which now encompasses developmental research on reasoning and problem solving. We begin this review by contrasting three main dual-system theories of adult reasoning (...

The evidence that Anderson (2014) marshals in support of his theory of neural reuse is persuasive. However, his theoretical framework currently lacks a developmental dimension. We argue that an account of the fundamental aspects of developmental change, as well as the temporal context within which change occurs, would greatly enhance Anderson's theory.

Two brothers with developmental delay and unusual cranial configurations were found to have agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) by CT scan. Six published families in which ACC occurred in the absence of extracranial malformations are reviewed. No single mode of inheritance can account for all of these familial cases. This family illustrates the value of CT scanning in evaluating children with...

In diesem Beitrag wird das Testmanagement bei Maßnahmen zur Qualitätsverbesserung in Datenbeständen behandelt. Hierbei fließen vorwiegend Erfahrungen aus Projekten bei Erstund Rückversicherungen, Rentenversicherungsträgern und in der öffentlichen Verwaltung ein. Dies sind Bereiche, in denen die Speicherung und Verfügbarkeit der Daten aus vielen Jahrzehnten notwendig ist. Naturgemäß werden diese...

Why do Knowledge Management projects fail? The managerial literature generally attempts to answer this question rather one-dimensionally and, using functional or technical criteria, assumes that the introduction of Knowledge Management is the result of a rational decision-making process and a strategy successfully implemented in the organization. But, constructivist studies of innovation have s...

By linking the concepts of homology and morphological organization to evolvability, this paper attempts to 1) bridge the gap between developmental and phylogenetic approaches to homology and to 2) show that developmental constraints and natural selection are compatible and in fact complementary. I conceive of a homologue as a unit of morphological evolvability, i.e., as a part of an organism th...

The effect of additivity pretraining on blocking has been taken as evidence for a reasoning account of human and animal causal learning. If inferential reasoning underpins this effect, then developmental differences in the magnitude of this effect in children would be expected. Experiment 1 examined cue competition effects in children's (4- to 5-year-olds and 6- to 7-year-olds) causal learning ...
