Osiurak and Reynaud argue that children are not a good methodological choice to examine cumulative technological culture (CTC). However, the paper ignores other current work that suggests that young children do display some aspects of creative problem-solving. We argue that using multiple methodologies and examining how technical-reasoning develops in children will provide crucial support for a cognitive approach to CTC.
奥西拉克和雷纳德认为,儿童并不是考察累积技术文化(CTC)的好方法选择。然而,该论文忽略了其他一些当前研究,这些研究表明,幼儿确实表现出了创造性解决问题的某些方面。我们认为,使用多种方法并考察儿童的技术推理如何发展,将为 CTC 的认知方法提供重要支持。
