Sinopsis

Excerpt from Child Behavior: A Critical and Experimental Study of Young Children by the Method, of Conditioned Reflexes

On the other extreme of the age-limits of childhood we have the child of the pre-school age. Here the term Child Study is generally used whether or no the prob lem attacked is a psychological one. In view of the tremendous development of intellect that occurs in this period and considering the large number of studies of such development that have already been made, it seems logical to use the term Psychology in distinguishing these studies from investigations dealing with physical development, social reactions, and sense functioning, despite the fact that there are necessary correlations which must be considered.

Excerpt from Child Behavior: A Critical and Experimental Study of Young Children by the Method, of Conditioned Reflexes

"Child Study" is a term so well-worn and so widely used that its application and meaning in any one instance consequently needs definition. Studies are made of the growth of the child, his games, his vocabulary, his mental activities, and they are all legitimate branches of child study, somewhat overlapping, it is true, and all of them far more fragmentary than complete.

One of the lines along which a great deal of work has been done is that of the mental activities of the child or on what might justly be called child psychology. This division is recognized from the standpoint of psychology itself and is again given varied connotations as it deals with different features of the subject. All of these subdivisions have, however, one thing in common. They treat of the growing organism as contrasted with the predominantly functioning organism of the adult. Bearing this characteristic in mind, child psychology may be justly said to include the study of all the stages of the intellectual development of the organism previous to the stage of complete maturity of mind. Usage has rather clearly discriminated for us, however, three main divisions in this long period of development. These are usually studied separately, although not without relating the findings of any one period to those of the others.
