The definitive account of renowned psychologist Jean Piaget’s work on children’s cognitive development.

Jean Piaget’s influence on child psychology is unmatched. His pathbreaking investigations and theories of cognitive development sent psychological research in new directions, and his influence has an ever-growing impact on the culture at large.

In The Psychology of the Child, Jean Piaget and his long-time collaborator Bärbel Inhelder offer a definitive presentation of Piaget’s research and theories of how cognitive processes develop. Through intensive interviews and observations, Piaget realized that cognition develops over time, in response to one’s environment, and with exposure to new information. Through his exemplary descriptions of a child’s cognitive development from infancy to adolescence, this classic book gives readers a broad and nuanced understanding of how intelligence unfolds.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A careful reading of The Psychology of the Child" reveals the fruitful intuition of one of the twentieth century's most imaginative scholars."―Jerome Kagan, Harvard University

"An outstanding introduction to Piaget's work."―Publishers Weekly

"Because Piaget asked new questions—cognitive-organismic questions—the whole train of developmental research has been turned in a new direction. A rare treat is in store for the reader."―American Journal of Psychiatry

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just child development
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2023
Verified Purchase
Piaget isn't interested in children per se, but rather intelligence. Observing intelligence at different stages of development provides insight into what intelligence actually entails and how it functions. As someone who studies cognitive psychology, Piaget provides one of the most concrete and comprehensive descriptions of intelligence that I've found in the literature.

I highly recommend this book as an introduction, although I'll say it is just an introduction, and many of the ideas he discusses here cannot be fully understood without further reading.

Piaget ( and the individual who translated) needs to boil this theory down to something more readable and understandable. Piaget himself is amazing! He just needs to share that with the world.

This is one of around twenty books by Piaget about various aspects of child develop. It is the preeminent example of good science and the founding evidence for our understanding of how children learn language and learn about their physical, social and cultural world. It is a must read still today for anyone working in the area of child language, child learning, children's intelligence or children's deficits.
