Abstract
The theory and research presented in Chapter 11 have several very commendable features. First, they deal with problem-solving performance in children. This is a topic which, somewhat surprisingly, has not been much studied in recent years. Resnick and Glaser interpret “intelligence” as the ability to solve problems, and of course some people may not agree with that definition. It would be hard, however, for anyone to disagree with the proposition that children’s problem solving is a worthwhile and currently understudied object of research.
