This article provides an overview of some of Annette Karmiloff-Smith’s many contributions and the impact of her research on the study of cognitive and linguistic development. Her research work exceeded the dichotomous explanations of development, broadened the limits of developmental periods that are worth examining, emphasized the importance of notational knowledge as a developmental domain and demonstrated the need for research in cognitive science to go beyond describing successful performance on certain tasks in order to more deeply account for representational change.
