Introducing Piaget

By Ann Marie Halpenny (Routledge, 18.99, ISBN 9780415525275)

Eminently readable and accessible, this new introduction to Piaget's key concepts focuses on early years. The author brings Piaget up to date, linking his theories to more recent work on cognitive development in childhood.

Areas covered include key milestones and achievements in children's thinking, understanding the physical world through senses and movement in infancy, supporting the emergence of symbolic thought and language in early years, and understanding object permanence.
