Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a method of observing, describing, and understanding mental faculties in children, which the author argues is essential for their proper education. The author begins by comparing child development to plant growth and other biological phenomena, arguing that the same principles of growth and action apply to all living things. The author then goes on to develop a theory of mental action as a process of stimulation and response and shows how it applies to the development of intelligence, attention, and other mental functions in children. The author concludes the book by asserting that the methods presented can help teachers and parents to better understand the mental development of children and to provide an education that will help them to reach their full potential. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
