More DescriptionThis special issue of 'Human Development' is dedicated to Giyoo Hatano, who passed away in January 2006. He was a well-known international researcher and Advisory Editorial Board member who pushed forward the quality of research on human development. Active researchers have been invited to contribute their recent thoughts on Hatano's work. The first paper includes perspectives on his research history; further papers examine his contribution to research on culture and cognitive development. The review on naive/folk biology provides new data obtained through an experiment inspired by Hatano's work and considers the role of experience and cultural models in children's biological reasoning. Conceptual change, research on classroom learning and how it was enriched by Hatano's work as well as a paper reviewing his earlier work on cultural tools such as the abacus and Japanese orthography are further topics which are discussed. This volume gives an up-to-date impression of current human development research in respect to Giyoo Hatano's work.
