Description:... "In this volume the author attemps to demonstrate how the child constructs reality out of his or her experience with the environment. The author also contends that the process of construction is continuous, and that the end result is not reducible either to the child or to the environment. These three themes are illustrated by studies of the development of religious concepts, of perceptual process, and of egocentric constructions. Although the three types of investigation deal with different subject matters and involve different methods, all clearly demonstrate the consturctive nature of the child's reality."--Publisher's description.
