Essays In Honour Of Barbel Inhelder: A Testament to Cognitive Development

Barbel Inhelder, a Swiss psychologist, was a pioneer in the field of cognitive development. Her work on the development of logical thinking in children has had a profound impact on our understanding of how children learn and develop. This book, Essays In Honour Of Barbel Inhelder, is a collection of essays by leading scholars in the field of cognitive development who have been inspired by Inhelder's work.

In 1943, Inhelder and Piaget published their first joint work, The Child's Conception of Space. This book was a groundbreaking study of how children develop the concept of space. Inhelder and Piaget showed that children's understanding of space is not innate, but rather develops gradually through a series of stages.

Inhelder and Piaget continued to collaborate on a number of other studies of cognitive development, including studies of the development of time, causality, and number. Inhelder's own research focused on the development of logical thinking in children. She showed that children's logical thinking develops gradually through a series of stages, and that these stages are closely related to the development of other cognitive skills, such as language and mathematics.
