• The Logarithmic-To-Linear Shift: One Learning Sequence, Many Tasks, Many Time Scales (2009, background): “…relation of short-term to long-term change continues to be of central interest within contemporary theories: dynamic systems (Fischer & Biddell, 1998; Thelen & Smith, 1998), neo- Piagetian (Case, 1998; Karmiloff-Smith, 1992), and information processing (McClelland, 1995; Siegler & Crowley, 1991).”
