Sinopsis

This book describes tactile-kinesthetic perception as a base for cognitive development and is unique in this respect. The author's concept, based on Piaget's theory of development, has been widely accepted in Western Europe; also, the author is active in the United States in collaboration with the Center for Research in Learning, Perception, and Cognition at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN.

Reseña del editor

Perception, Interaction and Language is essentially about the nature of adaptive learning in both its normal and abnormal forms. A major pre­ mise is that verbal and nonverbal learning depend critically on interaction with the environment via daily life problem solving activity. This new perspective is not entirely unfamiliar. But, a fundamentally new perspec­ tive is offered by the additional premise that tactile-kinesthetic percep­ tion associated with problem solving experiences provides the primary basis for interaction and hence, is the root of adaptive learning and de­ velopment. Although decades have passed since Jean Piaget first proposed a model of cognitive learning and development that builds on sensorimotor pro­ cesses, little seems to be known about how human actions are actually translated into adaptive behavior. We are keenly reminded of this lack of knowledge when dealing with persons who present abnormal perfor­ mance. The failure to learn language, in particular, can create a devastat­ ing handicap. Therefore, it is not surprising that systematic attention has been given to research and clinical programs for the language disordered.

Reseña del editor

This book focuses on behaviorally disabled children and adults. Part I describes the development of normal children, Part II the deviances of behaviorally impaired children and adults, and Part III discusses learning processes characteristic of both normal and perceptually disordered people. The references to research include both cross-sectional studies and longitudinal studies. Numerous photographs and examples illustrate several steps of normal and abnormal perceptual development and stimulate readers to add their own observations. Research findings support a model of development where developmental levels are related to a general source, a root. This model gives hope for therapy, for if the therapy can provide better tactile- kinesthetic information to children and adults when solving problems of daily living, we can expect that the root is strengthened and, consequently, the child will progress in development and the adult will become able to perform on higher levels of organisation. The "work at the root" is described in detail in Part III. The book addresses those concerned about the education of normal and behaviorally disordered children, those responsible for detecting and evaluating disordered children and brain injured adults, and those working with behaviorally abnormal children or brain injured adults.
