A theoretical perspective of physics learning processes as cognitive development is described, referring to theoretical frames and empirical results of other authors. Students ' cognitive system is described with cognitive elements, classified according to different grain size. "Cognitive atoms" as elements with the smallest grain size- the basic building blocks of cognitive systems- are used by many authors with different terms (p-prims, facetts, cognitive tools, intuitive rules or reasoning primitives). Finally learning pathways are described, in some cases determined by "cognitive attractors". The final state of learning is analysed, and the basis law of cognitive development is formulated with respect to teachin...
