About the Book
Think of developmental psychology, and the name of Jean Piaget immediately springs to mind. His theory of learning lies at the very heart of the modern understanding of the human learning process, and he is celebrated as the founding father of child psychology. A prolific writer, is the author of more than fifty books and several hundred articles.
The Psychology of Intelligence is one of his most important works. Containing a complete synthesis of his thoughts on the mechanisms of intellectual development, it is an extraordinary volume by an extraordinary writer. Given his significance, it is hardly surprising that
Psychology Today pronounced Piaget the Best Psychologist of the twentieth century.

Time'One of the great psychology classics of all time. One simply cannot be a serious student of intelligence without a careful reading and respectful appreciation of this book.' -
