Abstract
This chapter sketches some thoughts about why it is so difficult to
investigate both “what” and
“how” in spatial cognitive development. Then, it
discusses the progress in the field that has been made so far, by
addressing each question in turn. It closes with a hopeful forecast for
the future: that the field of spatial cognitive development offers an
exciting case study for thinking about the processes that underlie
developmental change in general, and that the field that is on the verge
of truly substantive progress that can integrate the
“what” and “how” of
development.
