“…This kind of knowledge should under gird efforts to provide levels of support, also called scaffolding (Arlin, 1975(Arlin, , 1984. Commons and Goodheart (2008) review the literature on measures of levels of support and explain the measurable effects of support on task performance. Ways of providing support for taking responsibility might include: (a) providing model descriptions of responsible people; (b) providing direct training in responsibility with models and then fading out the models; (c) providing resources and support to increase responsibility, in person and online.…”

Biological limitations refer to heritabiliry as well as such findings as those reported by Jaques and Cason (1994) of different maturation curves distributed across a population.…”

“…In Whitehead's [87] (p. 51) terms, which are echoed more recently by Commons and Goodheart [27], this externalized scaffolding advances civilization by extending the number of important operations that can be performed by persons unable, for reasons of time and resources as much as cognitive skill, to conduct those operations of thought for themselves. These qualitatively discontinuous order of magnitude differences in the intensity and depth of subjective experience become progressively more deeply embedded in language use with each increase in complexity.…”

“…Developmentally, the problem is one of structuring the cultural environment with knowledge technologies supporting more complex, higher order thinking [27]. In the terms of institutional economics, the problem is one of extending the infrastructure of prosperity: scientific rationality, capital markets, property rights, and communications [28][29][30].…”
