Synopsis
This book is a record of the first three years of life of an unusually healthy and normally developed infant who was observed daily. The author's clear descriptions of the child's development, supported by the author's doctoral research, debunk a number of common and harmful child-rearing practices and beliefs popular at the time of publication. The book also serves as a valuable overview of the current state of scientific thinking on child development circa 1912, especially in the areas of motor development and the evolution of the intellect based on sensory stimuli. The author argues that many of the actions and reactions of infants that are typically categorized as simple reflexes are actually quite complex and well-coordinated adaptive or impulsive behaviors that stem from the development of the brain and nervous system, rather than mere stimulus-response learning.
