Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “…attributes are detected by our sensory systems, they are perceived as belonging to perceptually coherent and meaningful objects and events rather than as collections of unrelated sensations (Gibson, 1966; Maier & Schneirla, 1964; Marks, 1978; Ryan, 1940; Stein & Meredith, 1993; Werner, 1973).”
Dynamic Development of Action and Thought (2007, background): “After the historical debate about the nature of embryological development was settled in favor of epigenesis, as opposed to quantitative growth of a preformed human being, the epigenetic conception was extended not only to brain development but also to cognitive and emotional development (Erikson, 1”
“Facilitating optimal motivation and psychological well-being across life’s domains”: Correction to Deci and Ryan (2008). (2008, background): “Theories that use organismic rather than mechanistic assumptions about the nature of people (e.g., Piaget, 1971; Rogers, 1963; Werner, 1948; White, 1960) view development as the process through which humans internalize, elaborate, refine, and integrate inner structures or representations of…”
Revenge of the “Neurds”: Characterizing Creative Thought in Terms of the Structure and Dynamics of Memory (2010, unknown): “…notion that thought varies along a continuum between these two extremes, associative and analytic (Arieti, 1976; Ashby & Ell, 2002; Freud, 1949; Guilford, 1950; James, 1890=1950; Johnson-Laird, 1983; Kris, 1952; Neisser, 1963; Piaget, 1926; Rips, 2001; Sloman, 1996; Werner, 1948; Wundt, 1896).”
A Five-Factor Theory Perspective (2002, background): “Since differentiation and subsequent integration are familiar developmental processes (Werner, 1948), this sequence seemed to provide a classic case of personality development in adulthood.”
The Illusion of Conscious Will (2018, background): “(88) This realization suggested to Hebb and others that the earnest project of eliminating mind entirely from the scientific explanation of behavior (Bentley 1944; Werner 1940) was misguided.”
ARTICLES: Studying Cognition in Flux: A Historical Treatment of Fu in the Shifting Structure of Oksapmin Mathematics (2005, background): “Though there is a world of difference between adaptations in the origins of species and adaptations of symbolic forms that have emerged in the social history of mathematics, we believe that the parallelism is instructive (for more on this view, see Croft, 2000; Hull, 1988; Werner, 1948).”
Enrichment Effects on Adult Cognitive Development (2008, background): “…on cognition in old age is based on the assumption that research on mechanisms driving short-term cognitive change may help to identify mechanisms driving agerelated changes in cognition (Li, Huxhold, & Schmiedek, 2004; Lindenberger & von Oertzen, 2006; Lövdén et al., 2007; cf. Werner, 1948).”
A Biosemiotic and Ecological Approach to Music Cognition: Event Perception Between Auditory Listening and Cognitive Economy (2005, background): “…summarized by five transitions which are typical of perceptual learning at large: (i) the transition from syncretic to discrete, (ii) from diffuse to articulate, (iii) from indeterminate to determinate, (iv) from rigid to flexible and (v) from unstable to stable (Werner 1961; Werner & Kaplan 1963).”
Heuristic Research: A Review and Critique of Moustakas’s Method (2002, background): “In early childhood, thought processing changes to a verbal language system that is linear and time-oriented, that differentiates and generalizes, and that is observational (Stern, 1985; Werner, 1948; Werner & Kaplan, 1963).”
Microgenetic Analyses of Learning (2007, background): “Werner (1948) hypothesized that cognitive changes over diverse time spans, ranging from milliseconds to years, include important commonalities.”
The Effects of Stress and Desire for Control on Superstitious Behavior (2002, background): “…is based on the notion that during development all children undergo a stage characterized by magical thinking and that in times of stress or crisis the remnants of such patterns of infantile thinking are likely to reappear in adults (e.g., Freud, 1919/1955, 1913/1960; Serban, 1982; Werner, 1948).”
A biopsychosocial model of the development of chronic conduct problems in adolescence. (2003, background): “In the same way that the orthogenetic principle propounded by Werner (1948) suggests that child development moves toward increasing differentiation and specialization, so, too, parenting must become more differentiated and specialized across development.”
The Development of the Uncanny Valley in Infants (2011, background): “As noted earlier, one is perceptual learning and differentiation of increasingly finer stimulus features (Gibson, 1969; Gottlieb, 1991; Nelson, 2001; Thelen & Smith, 1994; Werner, 1973) and the other is perceptual narrowing (Lewkowicz & Ghazanfar, 2009; Scott et al., 2007; Werker & Tees, 2005).”
Consciousness and the varieties of emotion experience: a theoretical framework. (2002, background): “With regard to the second aspect of quality, their dynamics, emotion behaviours are characterized by 'prosodic' qualities such as rhythm, explosiveness, hesitancy, tremor, surge, crescendo, fading, etc. (Werner, 1948; Stern, 1985).”
