In Kurt Fischer’s neo-Piagetian skill theory, a concept borrowed from mathematics to describe a level of functioning in which an individual is able to control the relationship between two units of behavior. For example, using representational mappings, a 4-year-old child can hold in mind the relationship between two representations. In so doing, she maps one representation onto a second representation (also used to refer to reflex mappings, sensorimotor mappings, abstract mappings). <\/p>\n
