The Neo-Piagetian Theories of Cognitive Development: Toward an Integration

This volume shows, in contrast to Elkind and Flavell's Essays in Honor of Jean Piaget (1969), not so much how Piaget's teaching has been assimilated, as how it has been accommodated. It shows even more the process of a quest for a new level of equilibrium in the evolvement of the psychology of cognitive development. This may be seen in the fact that the neo-Piagetian theories presented in this volume clearly indicate progress over classical Piagetian theory in that they overcome many of its anomalies as exposed in Elkind and Flavell's volume, as well as in others.
