Architecture and Dynamics of Developing Mind

by Andreas Demetriou, Anastasia Efklides, Maria Platsidou, and Robert L. Campbell

Published 1 August 1993

This Monograph presents a theory of cognitive development. The theory argues that the mind develops across three fronts. The first refers to a general processing system that defines the general potentials of mind to develop cognitive strategies and skills. The second refers to a hypercognitive system that governs self-understanding and self-regulation. The third involves a set of specialized structural systems that are responsible for the representation and processing of different reality domains.
