About this title

Synopsis

Causal Thinking In The Child: A Genetic And Experimental Approach is a book written by Monique Laurendeau that explores the development of causal thinking in children. The book takes a genetic and experimental approach to understand how children learn to make causal connections between events and actions. The author presents research findings that suggest that children are born with a predisposition to think causally and that this ability develops over time through experience and environmental factors. The book also examines the role of language and social interactions in shaping children's understanding of cause and effect.The author draws on a range of studies and experiments to illustrate the different stages of causal thinking in children, from early infancy to adolescence. The book also explores the implications of this research for education and child development, highlighting the importance of fostering children's causal reasoning skills in early childhood.Overall, Causal Thinking In The Child: A Genetic And Experimental Approach is a comprehensive and insightful book that sheds light on the fascinating process of how children learn to think causally, and provides valuable insights for parents, educators, and researchers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
