Abstract
A variety of resource and nonresource constructs relevant to cognitive development are described. An introduction to, and evaluation of, four resource-based neo-Piagetian models follows. Alternative models are then described. We conclude that the literature is rich in data and constructs, but that the link between them is frustratingly vague. Formal modeling, either computer- or mathematically based, seems to be the only way to establish this link.

Psychological ReviewControlled and automatic human information processing: II. Perceptual learning, automatic attending and a general theory.
7,133 Citations1977Richard M. Shiffrin, Walter Schneider
Tested the 2-process theory of detection, search, and attention presented by the current authors (1977) in a series of experiments and demonstrated the qualitative difference between 2 modes of information processing: automatic detection and controlled search.
Attention to Action
4,312 Citations1986Donald A. Norman, Tim Shallice
This chapter proposes a theoretical framework structured around the notion of a set of active schemas, organized according to the particular action sequences of which they are a part, awaiting the appropriate set of conditions so that they can become selected to control action.
Psychological ReviewToward an instance theory of automatization.
3,410 Citations1988Gordon D. Logan
A theory in which automatization is construed as the acquisition of a domainspeciSc knowledge base, formed of separate representations, instances, of each exposure to the task, providing an alternative to the modal view of automaticity and arguing that novice performance is limited by a lack of knowledge rather than a scarcity of resources.

The principles discussed show that conclusions about the interactions among psychological processes must be made with caution, and some existing assumptions may be unwarranted, as well as resulting in some new interpretations of interactions among competing psychological processes.

The aim of the present experiment was to investigate selective attention when it depends solely on the identification of verbal or linguistic features, using a task where the messages are presented only once and require an immediate and continuous response.

The present study explored whether dual-task performance is a function of similarity of central processing and, more specifically, the semantic similarity of the competing messages.

174 Citations1986Robert V. Kail
Results are interpreted as indicating that age differences in speed of processing are due, at least in part, to a central limiting mechanism that increases with age.

It is shown that several different levels of thought can be distinguished within the basic model, and the approximate age of mastery of each level to be predicted, thereby offering an alternate theory of cognitive developmental stages.

109 Citations1988Timothy A. Salthouse
An initial model based on an associative network metaphor is described, in which age declines in fluid or process aspects of cognition are attributed to a reduction in either the number of simultaneously active nodes, the maximum allowable activation, or the rate of propagating activation between nodes.

The 1970 data and new unreported data exhibiting developmental step functions confirm the model of a developmental growth of M (mental energy, working memory), which occurs concurrently with and independently from the growth of executive/control structures, which cannot explain the obtained results.

It is argued that the different levels of cognitive organization can be attributed to a hierarchy of structure-mapping rules, and the higher-level rules are more ‘abstract’ in the sense of being less dependent on specific properties of each task, and more transferable.
