Predicting cognitive performances has traditionally relied on individual differences in the use of cognitive strategies. These essays, by researchers active in a variety of fields of cognitive development, point toward an interaction among aptitudes, strategies, and knowledge in cognitive performance. The discussion moves from consideration of early cognitive development to the interactions among task-specific aptitudes, knowledge structures, and cognitive strategies, portraying the role these relationships play in cognitive performance.
