Applications Across Contexts<br />
Edited by Oon-Seng Tan and Alice Seok-Hoon Seng<br />
ISBN 9780071247658 • MHID 0071247653 • 2005 • Hardcover • 320pp<br />
Cognitive functioning is a new and important advancement in cognitive<br />
psychology and cognitive science. Cognitive functions are a central focus<br />
in the dynamic and mediational approach to assessment and intervention.<br />
An understanding of cognitive functions is the key to the design of effective<br />
cognitive intervention and enrichment programs.<br />
This book focuses on the mind of the learner, particularly on the nature and<br />
characteristics of cognitive functioning. It covers innovative and effective<br />
approaches to the enhancement of learning potential and cognitive<br />
functioning of children and adolescents. The approaches are grounded<br />
in theories pertaining to cognitive functions, cognitive modifiability, and<br />
dynamic assessment.<br />
Mediated Learning Experience with Children<br />
Applications Across Contexts<br />
Edited by Alice Seok-Hoon Seng, Lucy Kwee-Hoon Pou and Oon-Seng Tan<br />
ISBN 9780071232173 • MHID 0071232176 • 2003 • Hardcover • 232pp<br />
This book is based on the theories of cognitive psychologist Dr. Reuven<br />
Feuerstein, who pioneered the theory on Mediated Learning Experience<br />
(MLE) in the late 1940s through his work with children who were orphaned<br />
or separated from their parents as a result of the Holocaust. The theory of<br />
MLE is based on the belief that intelligence is modifiable, and intervention<br />
programs can be designed to enhance the cognitive skills necessary for<br />
independent thinking.
