Developmental and Educational Psychology
English A constructivistic paradigm of cognitive development is proposed. It bases on the connection of elements by relational terms drawn from semantic memory and includes a process of objectivation which condenses proposition-like structures into elements, to be connected in turn. Sensorimotor actions, verbal explanations and mathematical constructions can thus be transcribed. The same formalism is able to describe behavioral models, action sequences in which the child participates and games played by the child. A dual model of development, where structures in cultural stimulation are reconstructed in the child's cognition, is outlined.
