Abstract	The author studied the nature of historical knowledge and the conception of it among young adolescents. The study was based on the assumption, appearing in cognitive psychology, that formal concepts in the process of learning may eventually be domain-specific. The concenpts constituting the form of historical knowledge were established in theory, through a study of the philosophy of history. "Change" and "cause" were to be the ontological key concepts, and "evidence" and "interpretation" the epistemological key concepts. ... The level of conceptualisation in a learner was considered to be categorisable as levels of consciousness. ... A case-study was conducted concerning the historical conceptualisation among the 12 - 13 year-olds. They were given a projective task to yield historical thinking. Their expressions were studied qualitatively... in regard to both their meaning-content and their cognitive level.(DIPF/orig.).
