"Beginning with an overview of some essential concepts in developmental theory, including an introduction to Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky, this guide proceeds to discuss the work of cognitive psychologist Abigail Housen and her Stage Theory of Aesthetic Development. It concludes with how Housen's theory can be applied to understanding museum audiences and building effective educational programs. This document was written for VUE's Eastern European program and assumes little or no knowledge of developmental theory"--Www.vue.org.
