| Abstract | This volume presents Piaget's basic ideas. Requiring no background in psychology, this book clarifies and orders the thought of this vitally important psychologist, a prolific and often difficult writer. It forms an effective bridge for the reader to Piaget's own writings. Beginning with his biography, the study goes on to describe his work with infants, children, and adolescents. These chapters not only consider Piaget's major theories of intellectual development in children, but also present a good deal of the research on which the theories are based and the rationale behind that research. This second edition includes new Piagetian research and theory on a wide variety of topics. There is a new chapter six on development, learning, and education, as well as new material on memory and consciousness. |
