Based on the 25th Anniversary Symposium of the Jean Piaget Society,
this book represents cutting-edge work on the mechanisms of
cognitive, social, and cultural development. The
authors-anthropologists, biologists, historians of science,
paleontologists, and psychologists-believe that a rebirth is in
progress relating to the study of these mental developments. This
volume seeks to illuminate this rebirth. The varied findings and
approaches reported reveal that contemporary comparative research
on mental development is in a phase of differentiation and
integration. Far from being global and fused, this comparative
study is a flowering field of diverse disciplinary approaches,
empirical phenomena, scholarly topics, and theoretical
perspectives. It focuses on the comparative phylogeny, ontogeny,
and history of mentation-most notably on the comparative onset and
offset ages, velocity, extent, sequencing, organization of thought,
symbol, and value development. The world's leading authorities on
the subject discuss the implications of the study of evolution for
our models of the ontogenetic origins, development, and history of
mentation, as well as determine the constraints that evolution
imposes on mental development. Bringing the current interest in
primate cognition to bear on studies of cognitive development in
humans, this book will be of interest cognitive developmentalists,
primatologists and comparitive psychologists.
