Scribner, S. & Cole, M. Cognitive consequences of formal and informal education.
Science, 1973, 182, pp. 553-559.
Greenfield, P.M. & Lave, J. (1982). Cognitive aspects of informal education. In
D. Wagner and H. Stevenson, eds. *Cultural perspectives on child development*
New York: Freeman.
Jean Lave's *Cognition in Practice* can be read as an extensive critique of the
distinction and its foundations.
The LCHC chapter on culture and cognitive development in Mussen's *Handbook of
Child Development*, 1983, Volume 1, contains a lot of relevant material.
The list of contributors to that chapter is recommended to those among the
archeologists who find geneology (sp?) a convivial preoccupation.
I guess Scribner and Cole, Psycyhology of Literacy is probably also relevant.
