Young Minds Measurement:

Introduction to the ideas of Jean Piaget (Elkind, David)

Piaget discovered that by working with mental tests in children, he could combine his interests in biology and philosophy, in experiments that required little dexterity.

He had created an experimental philosophy that sought answers to philosophical questions by subjecting them to empirical tests. And he called this new discipline genetic epistemology.

At that time, in the United States the concern with environmental factors was almost entirely focused on learning, which psychologists defined as the modification of behavior by experience.

In open opposition was the naturalism of European psychology. From Europe, together with the exiles of Nazism, the postulates of Gestalt psychology had arrived, which argued that the experience never came to us raw, but always in an organized way. Such organizations were determined by organizers or congenital mental structures.

Piaget felt like the man in the middle, seeing nature and education always related.

For him, children's ideas about the world were constructions that involved both mental structures and experience. Like the Gestalts, he thought that experience does not arrive raw, but is organized by intelligence, but he differentiated himself by arguing that organizing structures are not fixed at birth, but rather develop in a regular succession of stages according to age. .

He thus discovers that one of the principles of development is that mental growth takes place by integration and substitution and not only by adding new facts. It is a spiral that expands upwards, where the same problems are approached at different age levels, but in each one they are solved in a more complete and satisfactory way than in the previous level.

During a second stage - 1930-40s - Piaget devoted himself mainly to the phenomenon of conservation; that is, the child's understanding that an amount remains the same despite the change in appearance.

At this stage in his work he discovered the general absence of quantitative conservation in young children. This is exceeded at 6-7 years with the
