The First Plane of Development.

Stephenson, Margaret E.

NAMTA Journal, v25 n3 p25-38 Sum 2000

Describes how the Absorbent Mind uses human tendencies during the first 6 years of life to construct one's own individual self. Maintains that the adult's task is to form the link between the child and the environment so that the human tendencies to explore, orient, order, work, repeat, control errors, be exact, create, invent, and communicate can operate freely.
