Are Physical Experiences with the Balance Model Beneficial for Students’ Algebraic Reasoning? An Evaluation of two Learning Environments for Linear Equations
The balance model is often used for teaching linear equation solving. Little research has investigated the influence of various representations of this model on students’ learning outcomes. In this quasi-experimental study, we examined the effects of two learning environments with balance models on primary school students’ reasoning related to solving linear equations. The sample comprised 212 fifth-graders. Students’ algebraic reasoning was meas…

Conceptualizing the Dynamics of Development in the 21st Century
Developmental Dynamics
At the end of the 20th century, as new tools and techniques from the interdisciplinary field of nonlinear dynamics began enjoying increased application to the study of development, interest in dynamics flourished in the developmental sciences. In the eyes of many prominent dynamics thinkers of the time, these new dynamics approaches – by virtue of their grounding in time and variability – not only established a thoroughgoing process orientation t…
Paradoxical (Post)Humanism
The visualization of posthumanism in Spike Jonze’s modern science fiction romance Her is fundamentally paradoxical, because the film reinforces traditional humanism in the human character of Theodore while at the same time disturbing it in the posthuman character of Samantha. In an optimistic reading of Samantha, drawing on Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of radical immanence, this article follows her posthuman character as evolving from being confin…
Reciprocal relationships between nonword repetition and vocabulary during the preschool years
The aim of this longitudinal study is to evaluate 3 views on the relationship between nonword repetition and vocabulary: (i) the storage-based view that considers nonword repetition, a measure of phonological storage, as the driving force behind vocabulary development, (ii) the lexical restructuring view that considers improvements in nonword repetition as the result of vocabulary growth, and (iii) the "combined" view that assumes that both stora…
The development of executive functions and early mathematics
Background. The relationship between executive functions and mathematical skills has been studied extensively, but results are inconclusive, and how this relationship evolves longitudinally is largely unknown.Aim. The aim was to investigate the factor structure of executive functions in inhibition, shifting, and updating; the longitudinal development of executive functions and mathematics; and the relation between them.Sample. A total of 211 chil…
Collective Development and the Learning Paradox
The learning paradox, which dates back to the Sophists, illustrates how difficult it is to give an adequate account of the emergence of novelty in cognitive functioning. More recently, Fodor has raised the same problem, criticizing Piaget on the grounds of the ‘impossibility of acquiring more powerful structures’. Convincing counterarguments to Fodor’s (or the Sophists’) objections are sparse. Recently, however, Miller has argued that the learnin…

A developmental model of hierarchical stage structure in objective moral judgements
