The Growth of Logical Thinking From Childhood to Adolescence pdf by Jean Piaget

SOME of those who are drawn by the psychological title to choose this book from the display shelf may be tempted to put it down when they discover how many pages are filled with v's and D 's or p's and q's. But their interest is not misplaced, for this is not a work on logic. It is a book which should be relevant both to the experi- mental psychologist interested in cognition and to the clinical psychologist or psychiatrist who deals with children or adoles- cents and who would like to know more about ego development. Logic does appear, both in that it is the more strictly logical aspects of the child's and the adolescent's thinking which make up the subject matter of the book and in that logical notation is used to provide a structural model of their thought processes. But this, we think, is not sufficient reason for putting it down, even for the person whose traumatic experiences with high-school mathematics have erected barriers around that part of the cogni- tive field labeled "abstract symbolism."
