Abstract
In Sect. 2.3.3 of Chap. 2, it was pointed out that in determining the major principles for the division criteria of children’s cognitive development stages, two factors should be considered at the same time: ability to perform mental processing and materials for mental processing. Ability to perform mental processing is the ability to carry out interiorized psychological operations. It is the manifestation of an integrated ability that involves mental processing methods, use of mental processing strategies and storage of mental processing (that is, memory). Mental processing materials refer to symbolic representative systems, such as representations and concepts.
