A Neurological Model of Sensory-Motor Problem Solving with Possible Implications for Higher-Order Cognition and Instruction.

Lawson, Anton E.

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v23 n6 p503-22 Sep 1986

Reviews the neural modeling principles of learning, perception, cognition, and motor control, discusses their applications to sensory-motor problem solving, and explores possible relationships between that pattern of problem solving and aspects of higher order formal operational problem solving. Cites implications for science education. (ML)
