This first edition of “The Child’s Conception of Movement and Speed” by the renowned Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget is a seminal work in the field of child development. Published in 1971, it explores how children perceive and understand the concepts of movement and speed through a series of ingenious experiments. Piaget’s pioneering research laid the foundation for the constructivist theory of learning, which posits that children actively construct their own knowledge through experiences and interactions with their environment.
This particular copy, though well-loved and showing signs of wear, is a testament to the enduring significance of Piaget’s work. Its slightly battered state speaks to the countless hands it has passed through, the minds it has enlightened, and the discussions it has sparked. For collectors and scholars alike, this edition holds immense value as an artifact of a pivotal moment in the study of cognitive development. Its pages contain not just words, but the seeds of a revolution in our understanding of how children perceive and make sense of the world around them.
