piaget

Nor would I try to imply that Piaget discovered everything about the subject.

I'd like to know where they think Piaget said such a brain-dead thing.

I suspect Kay got into Piaget because he was a fan of Papert.

Nobody is a classic Piaget psychologist anymore.

First time I'd read about Jean Piaget too.

Take that one step farther and you wind up with silliness such as an unwillingness to discuss obvious gender mental differences such as the differential performance under the Piaget water level test.

I raised an eyebrow at Piaget too, but mostly because he's been described as on the same level with Freud: he created the field, but that was a long time ago.

There's of course some cynical truth in there- I also spent my grad school years reading Papert and Piaget and Kay and Resnick (Mitchell, not Alec), and I also find their vision of personal computing very enticing.

Yet, in its simplest and earliest appearances, drawing should be conceived as the representation or even the motor of spatial conception, because—here Piaget quotes his teacher, the philosopher of mathematics Léon Brunschvicg—drawing is not founded on geometry, but on the contrary, geometry is founded on the practice of drawing.

The "slowly" part is my fault, not Piaget's; I think it's excellent and understandable, even if it's a bit verbose.

The interviewer at one point says: " Old-line psychologists such as Piaget thought that children didn't understand cause-and-effect until they were well into their school years.

Piaget didn't prove that no child can be genuinely gifted over the course of childhood compared to some "average" child--he didn't have a data set adequate to prove such a proposition at all.

According to Piaget, the origin of spatial representation coincides with the origin of drawing, language and representational thinking in general.

The onset of puberty is when children usually move from Piaget's concrete phase to formal operations.

The Flynn Effect (secular increases in unnormed IQ scores) is basically what happens when everyone gets to Piaget's Formal Operations stage.
