The Child and Reality: Problems of Genetic Psychology.
Piaget, Jean
In this book Piaget considers the way children learn about the world. He addresses such questions as the following: How does a child learn to perceive the world around him? How, for example, does he learn that by grasping an object, he can pull it towards him, or that a ball of clay, flattened, is no smaller than it was before? How does he learn to coordinate his muscles? To speak? To hold notions of right and wrong? Chapters include "Time and the Intellectual Development of the Child,""Affective Unconscious and Cognitive Unconscious,""The Stages of Intellectual Development in the Child and Adolescent,""Child Praxis,""Perception, Learning, and Empiricism, "Language and Intellectual Operations,""What Remains of the Gestalt Theory,""The Necessity and Significance of Comparative Research in Genetic Psychology," and "Life and Thought."
