Psychology of Intelligence

This book was easier to read than "The Origins of Intelligence in Children" and held some of the same information. The translation was very good but held a few places where the English did not quite flow as well. Piaget discussed several theories of intelligence and cognition. This book is a very good source for a comparison of the development of intelligence.

This book is being used for my PhD work and has been a great source of information regarding Jean Piaget's work on human development.
