A Reevaluation of the Basic Operations Hypothesis.

Goodluck, Helen; Solan, Lawrence

Cognition, v7 n1 p85-91 Mar 1979

If the basic operations hypothesis (EJ 184 227) is interpreted as a general principle governing acquisition of all movement rules, it may obscure the fact that children distinguish between unbounded and local rules. Error patterns support this distinction, lending credence to theories with separate status for the two rule types. (Author/RD)
