Abstract

En 中文
This article is a reply to the commentary made by Smith (1998) regarding these authors' earlier article (1998), which proposes a modified constructivist account of the origins of mental representation. This article focuses on three aspects of Smith's commentary. First, we elaborate on Smith's discussion of differences between empiricist and constructivist approaches to development. Second, we discuss Smith's restatement of Piaget's position in terms of four levels of representational capacities. Finally, we reply to specific comments directed by Smith at our article.
