Johnson propose a general organismic-causal theory that explicates working memory and executive function developmentally and by doing so clarifies the nature of human intelligence. Pascual-Leone and Johnson explain \"from within\" (that is, from a subject's own processing perspective) cognitive developmental stages of growth, describing key causal factors that can account for the emergence of the working mind as a functional totality. Among these factors is a maturationally growing mental attention.Preface vii\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments xiii\u003cbr\u003e I Foundations of a Causal Constructivist Theory: Semiotic Processes\u003cbr\u003e 1 Dialectical Constructivism: The Working Mind Underlying\u003cbr\u003e Working Memory 3\u003cbr\u003e 2 Problems of Cognitive Developmental Theory 33\u003cbr\u003e 3 Emergence of Mental Attention in Infancy:\u003cbr\u003e From Sensorimotor to Symbolic Processing 61\u003cbr\u003e 4 Meaning, Mental Attention, and the Symbolic Function 119\u003cbr\u003e II Theory of Constructive Operators (TCO)\u003cbr\u003e 5 Schemes\/Schemas and Their Causal Constructivist Learning 141\u003cbr\u003e 6 Automatic Attention: Effortless, Perceptual, and Personal 181\u003cbr\u003e 7 Mental Attention, Intelligence, and Consciousness 205\u003cbr\u003e III TCO, Task Analysis, and Neuroscience\u003cbr\u003e 8 Process Analysis and Mental Task Analysis: Foundations 257\u003cbr\u003e 9 Process and Mental Task Analysis: Methods and Examples 289\u003cbr\u003e 10 The Working Mind Inside a Working Brain:\u003cbr\u003e A Neuropsychological Introduction 317\u003cbr\u003e 11 The Working Mind Inside a Working Brain: Functional Dimensions\u003cbr\u003e in Brain Semiotics 359\u003cbr\u003e 12 The Working Mind Model across Human Domains 397\u003cbr\u003eAppendix: On Metasubjective Task Analysis (MTA) 413\u003cbr\u003e Glossary 421\u003cbr\u003e Notes 427\u003cbr\u003e References 435\u003cbr\u003e Index 471“Pascual-Leone’s magnum opus....I view the book as a grand research program involving many hypotheses that need to be tested....It is now the turn of the researchers, prospective doctoral students and their supervisors to operationalize constructs and hypotheses in their own preferred mode or code and test them using new methods of research which are currently available.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eCognitive Development\u003c\/i\u003e​\u003c\/b\u003e“This is a well-reasoned and intellectually entertaining book on the nature of cognitive development that is broad in scope, rich in practical implications, and impressively deep in theoretical and empirical detail.
