The Classic Edition of Dolph Kohnstamm's Jean Piaget, Children and
the Class-Inclusion Problem, first published in 1967, includes a
new introduction by the author, describing for readers the original
context for his work, how the field has moved forward and the
ongoing relevance of this volume. This enduring text offers a
critical study of a cornerstone of Piaget's theory that a child's
ability to solve problems of class-inclusion marks the beginning of
the period of concrete (logical) operations at about 7 or 8 years
of age. Kohnstamm's experiments show, however, that, with a
teaching method that provokes children's authentic logical thinking
processes, most children of 5 can already learn to solve a variety
of class-inclusion problems, up to a level where they can even
invent similar but new problems themselves. These results question
the basic assumption of Piaget's theory that logical operations can
only develop in firmly connected groupings of operations. Kohnstamm
argues that experimenters must, therefore, show that children who
come to master one kind of operation should also show transference
to other operations of the same grouping. This insightful volume
questions the real existence in brain functioning of Piaget's
families of logical operations. No experimental proof of such
families has ever been demonstrated, and thus is solely an
assumption in Piaget's theory. This challenge to Piaget's theory is
an invaluable resource for students and scholars of cognitive,
developmental and educational psychology.
