Synopsis
Excerpt from The Development of Intelligence in Children: The Binet-Simon Scale
The literature on the Scale has increased enormously; in 1914 there was already a bibliography of 254 titles; yet in all this time no complete translation of Binet's work on the Scale has appeared. A number of criticisms have appeared, many of which could not have been written if Binet's complete discussion of his Scale had been available to the critics.

Product Description
Excerpt from The Development of Intelligence in Children: The Binet-Simon Scale
It will seem an exaggeration to some to say that the world is talking Of the binet-simon Scale; but consider that the Vine land Laboratory alone, has without effort or advertisement dis tributed to date copies of the pamphlet describing the tests, and record blanks.' This in spite Of the fact that the same matter has been freely published in numerous other places. The Scale is used in Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Russia, China, and has recently been translated into Japanese and Turkish.
The literature on the Scale has increased enormously; in 1914 there was already a bibliography Of 254 titles; yet in all this time no complete translation Of Binet's work on the Scale has appeared. A number Of criticisms have appeared, many of which could not have been written if Binet's complete discussion of his Scale had been available to the critics.
It is little less than marvelous that the tests have had such a remarkable acceptance even in the mutilated form Of our con denesd abstract. That the Scale was so eminently useful in this abbreviated form shows the masterly work of the authors.

The Development of Intelligence in Children: The Binet-Simon Scale
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the critical question of how to accurately assess and classify different levels of intellectual ability, particularly in children. The author meticulously examines the history of attempts to define and categorize mental deficiency, highlighting the shortcomings of earlier approaches that relied on vague descriptions and subjective observations. The author critiques the dominant methods of the time, demonstrating how reliance on physical characteristics and imprecise terminology led to inconsistent diagnoses and hindered effective treatment. The book then introduces the groundbreaking work of the author and their colleagues, who sought to establish a more scientific approach to diagnosis through the development of standardized tests. This work was a significant departure from the prevailing practices of the time, and the book explores the rationale behind the new methods, outlining the principles that underpinned the development of these tests. The author's exploration of these new diagnostic techniques underscores their belief that a precise and objective understanding of intellectual development is essential for the effective education and care of children with varying abilities. Through the detailed presentation of the author's work, the book offers a compelling case for the importance of scientific rigor in the field of mental health assessment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331396567_0
