Although originally published in France in 1951 this English
translation was not published until 1975. The book supplements the
authors' previous publications on the development of thought in the
child and is the result of two preoccupations: how thought that is
in the process of formation acts to assimilate those aspects of
experience that cannot be assimilated deductively - for example,
the randomly mixed; and the necessity of discovering how the mental
processes work in the totality of spontaneous and experimental
searchings that make up what is called the problem of 'induction'.
Induction is a sifting of our experiences to determine what depends
on regularity, what on law, and what on chance. The authors examine
the formation of the physical aspects of the notion of chance; they
study groups of random subjects and of 'special' subjects; and they
analyse the development of combining operations which contributes
to determining the relationship between chance, probability, and
the operating mechanisms of the mind.
