Complexity: From formal analysis to final action
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (6):836-837 (1998)
| Abstract | Relational complexity provides a metric for measuring task demands, and in this respect has much in common with the cognitive complexity and control theory. However, relational complexity does not account for the relative difficulty of different relational types, and appears to underestimate the importance of changes in children's ability to act on the basis of their understanding. | |||||||||
