Abstract
This chapter discusses the Piagetian experiments. The published works of Jean Piaget fall into two main periods. The first of these extended from 19 24–932. The second period of Piaget's work commenced in 1936. In the books of this period, Piaget has occasionally had the assistance of collaborators and he adopted a recognizable pattern of approach. This pattern of approach is the use of the now famous Piagetian experiment. To investigate some point of inquiry, a sample of children is taken and each child in the sample is required to take part in one or more experiments. In these experiments, he is faced with a series of problems, in the solving of which, by means of careful questioning, the investigator can persuade the child to externalize his thought. From the pattern of the responses given by the children, of different chronological ages and levels of mental development, the developmental stages of the growth of the concept are made available for our study.
