Logo and cognition: A theoretical foundation

Despite a growing body of research on the cognitive effects of Logo, a clear theoretical foundation for such study has not emerged. This paper presents a Sternbergian theoretical foundation for the investigation of cognitive effects of Logo environments (including a rationale for expecting such effects) and reviews research relevant to validating the efficacy of this foundation. Although firm conclusions cannot be drawn from this research corpus, initial results appear promising, and it is suggested that those responsible for implementations and investigations of Logo environments consider utilizing Sternberg's (1985) componential theory as a theoretical base.
