Inductive reasoning, domain specific and complex problem solving: Relations and development (2013, background): “However, research has shown that there are additional ways to significantly and effectively evelop thinking skills, for instance by explicit training (Molnár, 2011) or by enriching school materials and modifying eaching methods (e.g. Adey & Shayer, 1994; Shayer & Adey, 2002).”
Educating the Developing Mind: Towards an Overarching Paradigm (2011, background): “The research of Shayer and Adey (2002) on the acceleration of cognitive development points to the same conclusion.”
