Children Solving Problems

What Thornton finds may come as a surprise: successful problem-solving depends less on how smart we are--or, as the pioneering psychologist Jean Piaget claimed, how advanced our skill in logical reasoning is--and more on the factual knowledge we acquire as we learn and interpret cues from the world around us.

Résumé

Thornton surveys research from a broad range of perspectives in order to explore why successful problem-solving depends less on how smart we are—or, as the pioneering psychologist Jean Piaget claimed, how advanced is our skill in logical reasoning—and more on the factual knowledge we acquire as we learn and interpret cues from the world around us.
