This is one of the major works by Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget, who was the most influential figure in developmental psychology. Here he conceives of intelligence as the form of equilibrium towards which all cognitive processes tend.
Translated from the French by Malcolm Piercy and D. E. Berlyne.
