This article, which has just been revised, is an important article for anyone working in the field of education and development. Too often people write about learning without thinking through whether their understanding of the mind. We see this most often when people start using computer terms - the short term 'memory buffer', visual 'encoding', etc. - to talk about the mind. This article sets out a lot of that thinking, but importantly, the revision assigns a lot of these old views (for example, the representational theory of mind) to the 'classical' category. That is, no longer current. Now there's still a lot of the legacy of these old theories lingering - for example, externalism about mental content, and information processing - but the more current 'new' approaches are looking at things like embodiment. If you wanbt to read more, there's a semantic scholar list of resources.
