The Rule-Assessment Approach and Education.

Siegler, Robert S.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v7 n3 p272-88 Jul 1982

This paper describes the rule-assessment approach to cognitive development. The basic question that motivated the rule-assessment approach is how people's existing knowledge influences their ability to learn. Research using the rule-assessment approach is summarized in terms of eight conclusions, each illustrated with empirical examples. (Author/BW)
