How do children learn and how are new modes of thought developed?
These questions have for years been of paramount interest to
psychologists and others concerned with the cognitive development
of the child. In this major work, originally published in 1974 and
reporting on over ten years' research of the Geneva School, the
authors carried the pioneering investigations of Jean Piaget to a
new and remarkable level. As Piaget said in his foreword to the
book: 'The novelty of the findings, the clarity of the theoretical
interpretation, and the sometimes even excessive caution of the
conclusions enable the reader to separate clearly the experimental
results from the authors' theoretical tenets.' The authors'
learning experiments with children were designed to examine the
processes that lead to the acquisition of certain key concepts,
such as conservation of matter and length. Detailed study of the
progress of each individual subject revealed a number of features
characteristic of situations that create conflicts in the child's
mind and certain regularities in the way these conflicts are
resolved. Such data threw new light on the dynamics of the
development of cognitive structures as well as on basic mechanisms
of learning at the time.
