Dear all, Thanks a lot for your suggestions, which open interesting directions for me, some quite new. I can precise the question: I am interested in young and older adults (basically, all kinds of people excluding the so-called child of the child psychology) learning-in-doing some new activities (here, engaging into scientific games): conceptual development, new reasoning modes, analogies from past experiences, creativity... But I would keep the question as open as before, since I am not looking for a complete bibliography here but was inspired by Mike's intial request to get the most important, significant, striking books on the topic.
