Paradigmas do desenvolvimento cognitivo: Uma breve retrospectiva

Abstract

The human cognition has been focused by diverse inquiries in the field of the development psychology, searching to construct a theoretician-empiricist referential to guide studies and interventions in this direction. The debate has been situated around great paradigms - Piagetian, Neopiagetian, informational and contextual processing and cognitive biological-maturational/neuroscience, being considered, sometimes, as an absolute referential of truth, and perceived as excludents among them. The objective of this work consists in carrying through a brief retrospect of these theoretical sources, searching to identify interlocution points between them, in the attempt to apprehend them while a body of knowledge that can complement and integrate some views about human mind.
