John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Development of Mental Processing: Efficiency, Working Memory, and Thinking
The Development of Mental Processing integrates several psychological approaches in order to create a more comprehensive theoretical system. This system is tested through a longitudinal study of children 8 to 16 years of age, where findings show that it is ones efficiency at processing information, which has the greatest impact on the development of the working memory. This working memory, in turn, becomes the underlying factor determining individual differences in thinking. Study presenting a developing comprehensive theorhetical system and showing its evolution. Includes commentary by Kurt Fischer and Theo Dawson. An interesting monograph for both students and researchers about the process of theory creation as much as the study's findings.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Architecture and Dynamics of Developing Mind: Experiential Structuralism As a Frame for Unifying Cognitive Development Theories
This Monograph presents a theory of cognitive development. The theory argues that the mind develops across three fronts. The first refers to a general processing system that defines the general potentials of mind to develop cognitive strategies and skills. The second refers to a hypercognitive system that governs self-understanding and self-regulation. The third involves a set of specialized structural systems that are responsible for the representation and processing of different reality domains.
