Overview
Jean Piaget’s early work was largely concerned with the identification and explanation of qualitative changes in the developing child’s intellectual structure. Subsequent Genevan work has been concerned with clarifying the ways in which this general intellectual structure interacts with other cognitive processes such as perception (Piaget, 1969) and imagery (Piaget and Inhelder, 1971). More recently, Piaget and Inhelder (1973) have examined the relation between intelligence and memory, and it is this work that is reviewed in the present chapter.
Support for the preparation of this chapter was provided, in part, by a grant from The University of Rochester, Rochester, New York. The author would like to express thanks to John A. Meacham, Sherri L. Oden, Carla J. Posnansky, and Arnold J. Sameroff for their many helpful comments on an earlier draft of this chapter.
