Adult-Child Interaction and the Origins of Metacognition.

Kontos, Susan

Journal of Educational Research, v77 n1 p43-54 Sep-Oct 1983

Two studies were conducted to obtain information about the metacognitive environment of the preschool child and the impact of parent-child communication on problem solving. Children working with parents showed improvement on several problem-solving measures, but children working alone also improved, solely as a result of practice. (Author/PP)
