A Over the past fifteen years
various studies have addressed whether, when and how peer interaction
facilitates children's cognitive development. One of the tasks long favoured by
cognitive psychologists who are interested in problem solving is the "Tower of
Hanoi". This is usually presented in the form of a board with three vertical
pegs in it; over one peg is slipped a number of different-sized tiles, with the
largest at the bottom and the smallest at the top, so that they form a
pagoda-shaped stack (see Figure 1). The task is to dismantle the "pagoda" and
re-form it on one of the other pegs, but with the constraints that only one tile
can be moved at a time, and that a larger tile may never be placed on a smaller
one. With three tiles, the problem is soluble in a minimum of seven
moves.
