Conceptual Knowledge About Cognitive Activities

Part of the SpringerBriefs in Psychology book series (BRIEFSPSYCHOL)

Abstract

Empirical research concerning developmental changes in children’s understanding of cognitive activities is reviewed. Age-related changes in children’s knowledge of seven aspects of cognitive functioning are considered: (a) the stream of consciousness, (b) attention, (c) memory, (d) inference, (e) imagination, (f) relations between thoughts and emotions, and (g) the controllability of thoughts. Three general levels of understanding are distinguished: (a) occurrence knowledge: knowledge of the occurrence of particular cognitive activity, (b) organizational knowledge: knowledge of similarities and differences in the functions of cognitive activities, and (c) epistemological thought: broad, abstract thinking about the nature of knowledge and mind.
