A ll through our y ears of te a c h in g in the f i e l d of pure** p hilosophy, and p a r t i c u l a r l y in the a re a known as R a tio n a l P sychology 1 we have been preoccupied w ith the problem of the psychology of I n te llig e n c e.

G e s e ll's work THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF LIFE serv ed as an In tro d u c tio n and made a v a ila b le to us a w e alth of p r e c is e and c le a r ly reco rd ed p a tte r n s of development in

Concom itantly we had become i n te r e s te d in the works of Jean P ia g e t from th e U n iv e rs itie s of Q-eneva and P a r is. And when in 1 9 & F u lb rig h t F ellow ship p ro v id ed us w ith th e o p p o rtu n ity of stu d y in g under him a t the U n iv e rs ity of P a ris we were only too g lad to devote our tim e to th e u n d e rstan d in g of h is fin d in g s and th e co n clu sio n s lie o ffe re d. I t i s then th a t th e p r o je c t of th e th e s is we now o f f e r came vaguely I n to our mind: a com parative study of the fin d in g s concerning the developm ent of th e s e n s o rimotor i n te l li g e n c e, as viewed by two a u th o r i ti e s who did t h e i r re s e a rc h thousands o f m iles a p a r t. Two y e ars of te a c h in g h elp ed us to b rin g in to focus such an e v a lu a tio n. Thus t h is t h e s is Is the r e s u l t of an in s ig h t as w e ll,a s the outcome of a growing f a m i l i a r i t y w ith th e m a te ria l Involved.
11 IX Jean Piaget^* became in te r e s te d in C h ild Psychology in 1923 when he p u b lish e d h is now famous stu d y of LANGUAGE AND THOUGHT follow ed by JUDGEMENT AND REASONING IN CHILDREN, (1927). The s t a r t l i n g conclu sio n s he achieved, e s p e c ia lly the one about the much d isc u sse d e g o c e n tric m e n ta lity of the c h ild le d him to f u r th e r in v e s tig a tio n s in the phases of ch ild * s developm ent. Thus th e s tu d ie s about THE CHILD*S CONCEPTION OP THE WORLD, (1929) and THE MORAL JUDGEMENT OF THE CHILD, (1932). At t h is p o in t P ia g e t r e a liz e d th a t c o n tin u ity being re q u ire d he had to undertake ag ain h is stu d ie s of th e child* s m ental development - t h is tim e from the moment o f b i r t h. W hatever he m ight fin d would e ith e r prove or disprove what he thought to be p e r tin e n t f a c ts s e t in the p rev io u s m onographies. To t h i s we owe the t r ilo g y of THE ORIGINS OF^ INTELLIGENCE 3-Born in Neuenberg, Sw itzerland, August 9, 1896, P iaget did sp ecial work in the zoology o f m ollu scs. At 15 years old he published h is study on the m olluscs of Neuchatal, Jura* His D octorate th e s is, w r itte n when he was 21 years of age, was concerned w ith the d i f f e r e n t v a r i e t i e s of m olluscs in the V a la is ia n A lps.

The o b se rv a tio n s d e sc rib e d and analyzed in these th re e works were made b y P ia g e t upon h is own c h ild re n Ja c q u e lin e, Luclenne and L a u re n t. W ith th e f a c ts provided by h is y e ars o f o b se rv a tio n P ro fe s s o r P ia g e t was thus able to c o n s o lid a te h is o r ig in a l p o s itio n s, and even r e in fo rc e them. Dr. Arnold G e se ll, on the o th e r hand, made h is observatio n s a t th e famous Yale C lin ic o f Child Development and was involved w ith a somewhat la r g e r number o f s u b je c ts who were follow ed through the y e a rs w ith a l l the p o s s ib le means o f o b s e rv a tio n. 1, S e p a ra te m onographies were devoted to the stu d y o f th e fo rm atio n of the n o tio n of Number (1940)* Q u a n tity (1941) Time (1946) Speed and Motion (1946) w ith a s y n th e sis in the PSYCHOLOGY OF INTELLIGENCE (1957)

This is a lre a d y i n s tr ik in g c o n tr a s t w ith P ia g e t who was alone in w ritin g the t r i l o g y m entioned abovethis o f course does not change in any way the value we a tta c h to P ia g e t s s t u d i e s ; b u t he i s o fte n c r i t i c i z e d because of the sm a ller number of subj e c ts involved compared w ith those of G e s e ll. However we cannot pass under s ile n c e th a t th e method o f study o f P ia g e t, and p a r t i c u l a r l y the sm all number of su b je c ts he u s u a lly d e a lt w ith had le d to g re a t c o n tro v e rsie s about h is p o in t of view i n t h is c o u n try.

As we proceeded in our tea ch in g we became more and more aware of th e im portance of a com parative study between G esell and P ia g e t, and th e b e n e f it which could be d eriv ed f o r s p e c ia l i s t s in the f i e l d, in terms o f e s ta b lis h in g some b a s ic f a c ts concerning th e e a rly y e a rs or the development of th e c h ild.

17 CHAPTER I DR. GESELL*S BASIC CONCEPTS UNDERLYING THE UNDERSTANDING OF DEVELOPMENT OF SENSORI-MOTOR INTELLIGENCE I. THE CONCEPT OF GROWTH Our sp e c ie s has had a v e n erab le h is to r y. I t has taken N ature a b i l l i o n y ears to fa s h io n the s tr u c tu r e and the p o t e n t i a l i t i e s of th e human in f a n t. Each newborn baby i s a f o c a l end p roduct of e v o lu tio n. His h e rita g e i s so v a s t th a t i t tak e s him a score o f years to achieve a measure of p sy c h o lo g ic a l m a tu rity. How can we p o s s ib ly u n d e rstan d him as an In d iv id u a l or as a r e p r e s e n ta tiv e of the sp e cie s w ith o u t examining the growth p ro c e ss whereby he a t t a i n s m atu rity? B irth marks the a r r i v a l bu t n o t th e tru e commencement of an In d iv id u a l. The l i f e c a re e r of th e in d iv id u a l begins w ith the conception when the genes of fa th e r and mother u n ite and i n i t i a t e a c y cle of grow th. A m inute g lo b u le of protoplasm becomes an embryo, the embryo becomes a f e t u s, the f e tu s an in f a n t, the in f a n t a c h ild, the c h ild a youth, the youth an a d u lt, the a d u lt a p a re n t. With parenthood a n o th er cy cle of growth is. l ib e r a te d. The genes i n i t i a t e th e m ental as w e ll as the p h y sic a l p ro d u cts of growth. From th e e a r l i e s t sta g e th e c h ild develops as a u n i t. He comes by h is mind th e same way as he comes by h is body, namely through the o rg an iz in g p ro cess of growth. Growth, th e re f o re, i s the key concept fo r u n d e rstan d in g the n a tu re and the needs of the c h ild mind. The mind does n o t have a fix e d se p a ra te e x iste n c e w ith in a b o d ily dw elling. I t i s p a r t and p a rc e l of an I n d iv is ib le growing organism, re sp o n siv e to the Jo in t In flu e n c e of th e genes and the environm ent. The mind cannot be reg ard ed as pure energy fo r I t Is a p a tte rn e d and p a tte r n in g system. Indeed, th e mind of th e c h ild i s a * liv in g, growing a c tio n sy ste m.!
18 2. We have quoted a t le n g th t h is statem en t because i t has the m e rit of in clu d in g in a panoramic view the b a s ic f e a tu r e s and concepts u n d e rly in g G esell* s approach to th e stu d y o f the developm ent o f the c h ild. In l a t e r paragraphs we w i l l have an o p p o rtu n ity to e la b o ra te and analyze more in d e t a i l th e se c o n ce p ts. We would l i k e h e re sim ply to m ention some of th e s t r i k i n g p o in ts and some o f the qu estio n s which may come to th e mind of the r e a d e r. F i r s t and forem ost the concept o f grow th i s s in g le d out as an over a l l encom passing s o lu tio n to the u n d erstan d in g of th e c h ild * This concept is o ffe re d in a p e rs p e c tiv e t h a t can be anything b u t e v o lu tio n n is tic, sin c e, as G e se ll says, "N ature has tak e n a b i l l i o n y ears to fa s h io n the s tr u c tu r e and the p o t e n t i a l i t i e s of the human in f a n t." A second i n te r e s ti n g fe a tu r e is the h o l i s t i c approach which G e se ll assumes to be u n d e rly in g the c y cle of grow th. Not only does he a ffirm the developm ent as a " u n it", b u t he e q u a lly r e in f o r c e s h is p o s i t io n by s t a ti n g th a t "th e genes
19 3. i n i t i a t e th e m ental as w e ll as the p h y s ic a l p ro d u ct of g ro w th,m and th a t the mind does not have a fix e d se p a ra te e x is te n c e w ith in a b o d ily organism. 1 One may wonder i f beh in d th e s e words G esell does no t in te n d to s ta te h is p h ilo s o p h ic a l p o s itio n and o f f e r a s o lu tio n th a t would do away w ith the famous problem of c a r te s ia n dualism. I t i s p o s s ib le t h a t such an is s u e i s a b sen t from G e s e l l ^ mind, b u t i t Is e q u a lly p o s s ib le th a t he th in k s th a t the concept of growth would o f f e r such a s o lu tio n. F in a lly G esell conceives th e cy cle of growth w ith the fo llo w in g f a c t o r s a t work: the genes and the environm ent. A f u r th e r I n s ig h t is added w ith the statem en t th a t th e mind i s a p a tte rn e d and p a tte r n in g system. 14 In o th er words, the c y cle of growth w i l l in c lu d e a p a ssiv e and an a c tiv e a s p e c t, and the study o f th e v a rio u s phases of development should b rin g th ese to l i g h t. Before we proceed to the d e t a i l s of the u n fo ld in g consequences of t h is concept of growth a p p lie d to th e c h ild * s

This concept i s m o n is tic ; i t re s o lv e s the dualism s of organism s and environm ent; o f h e re d ity and h a b it; o f s tr u c tu r e and fu n c tio n ; of mind and body.-* To many t h is sta te m e n t w i l l appear too g e n e ra l; We see in f a c t th a t i t i s, fo r G e se ll, the answer to a problem mentio n e d above, namely the c a r t e s ia n dualism of mind and body. I f i t seems to be over c o n c lu siv e, i t has a t l e a s t th e m e rit o f o ffe rin g a new p e rs p e c tiv e to th e s o lu tio n o f t h a t ever-
21 5. l a s ti n g problem. And perhaps t h a t is a l l one may ex p ect, i f one is to rem ain so c lo se to b io lo g y. I I. BEHAVIOR AS THE OBJECT OF STUDY The re a d e r o r the c r i t i c who seeks to sy n th e siz e G esell* s b a sic concepts i s sometimes confused by the f a c t th a t some of h is sta te m e n ts are d e f i n i te l y ta in te d w ith s o c io lo g ic a l p re o c c u p a tio n s. However, w hile t i t l e s o f c h ap ters such as The Family in a Dem ocratic C u ltu re 11^ are c le a r examples o f such a d ir e c tio n, the f a c t is th a t G e se ll i s *not c a r r ie d away w ith such p re o c c u p a tio n s. A lthough he re c o g n iz e s, - and who does n o t - th a t th e fam ily rem ains th e nmost fundam ental u n i t of modern c u ltu r e 11^, and even i f he dw ells on th e concept of democracy as 11having f a r rea ch ing consequences in th e re a rin g of ch ildren"w e may r i g h t f u l l y assume th a t h is main o b je c tiv e Is to p re s e n t a c le a r and o b je c tiv e a n a ly s is of the p a tte r n s of development*
22 In th e fo llo w in g p arag rap h s we w i l l th e re fo re d isc u ss th e fo u n d atio n s and im p lic a tio n s of th e p ro ce sses of growth as G esell u n d erstan d s them. To conform to th e m o n istic conc e p tio n ex p lain ed in th e in tr o d u c tio n, we should co n sid er growth on a l l f r o n ts a t once. But u n f o rtu n a te ly th e human mind i s unable to v is u a liz e anything in such a manner, and we a re fo rc e d to segment c e r t a i n a sp e c ts of what we commonly c a l l BEHAVIOR. Of c o u rse, t h i s term B ehavior i s a ls o fo r many an a b s tr a c tio n. In I t s t o t a l i t y i t could very w ell s ig n ify what G e se ll c a l l s "the outward a sp e c t o f l i f e " "the very essence and a c u lm in atin g m a n ife s ta tio n of the *7 l i f e p ro c e sse s of the i n d i v i d u a l. " O bviously, th e re f o re, B ehavior i s not a s t a t i c e n ti t y. In f a c t, fo r us i t is the open v i s t a in to the development which oth erw ise would become in com prehensible. I t i s.b e cause B ehavior can be stu d ie d and even measured to a c e r ta in e x te n t th a t we can i n f e r, as G esell does so o fte n, th a t to
23 7. changes In Behavior w i l l correspond to changes in th e sequences of developm ental l e v e l s. We w i l l fin d l a t e r, as m entioned above, th a t v ario u s a s p e c ts of Behavior can be I s o la te d. But here ag ain we w i l l have to remember th e f a c t th a t w hatever m u lt i p li c it y we may observe Is in fu n c tio n of an o v e r-p re v a le n t u n ify in g f a c to r or p ro c e ss, m ainly th a t of growth. The c h i l d 's p e rs o n a lity i s a p ro d u ct o f slow and g rad u al growth. His nervous system m atures by sta g e s and n a tu r a l sequences. He s i t s b e fo re he sta n d s; he b ab b les b e fo re he t a l k s ; he f a b r ic a te s b e fo re he t e l l s th e t r u th ; he draws a c i r c l e b e fo re he draws a square; he is s e l f i s h b e fo re he is a l t r u i s t i c ; he Is dependent on o th e rs b e fo re he achieves dependence on s e l f. A ll of h is a b i l i t i e s, in c lu d in g h is m orals, a re s u b je c t to laws of growth. The ta s k of c h ild c a re i s n o t to fo rc e him in to a predeterm ined p a tte r n bu t to guide h is grow th.

This growth b eg in s rem arkably e a r ly. Five months befo re the baby is born a l l o f the nerve c e l l s he w i l l ever p o ssess have a lre ad y been formed and many of them a re p rep ared to fu n c tio n in an o rd e rly way. At t h i s time the fe tu s makes movements of arms and le g s so v ig o ro u sly th a t the movements can be seen and f e l t th ro u g h the m other1s abdominal w a ll (q u ick e n in g ); th e e y e lid s can wink; the e y e b a lls can r o l l ; the hands can c la s p ; the mouth can open and c lo s e ; the th r o a t can swallow; the c h e s t makes rythm ic movements in p re p a ra tio n f o r ^the event of b i r t h, when the b re a th o f p o s t n a ta l l i f e w ill ru sh in to the lu n g s.

And he is nev er ready u n t i l the Nervous System i s rea d y. How does th e mind grow? I t grows lik e the Nervous System ; i t grows w ith th e Nervous System. Growth is a p a tte r n in g p ro c e s s. I t produces p a tte rn e d changes i n the nerve c e l l s ; i t produces corresp o n d in g changes in p a tte r n s of b e h a v io r * ^ To u n fo ld such an e v a lu a tio n one must go back to some simple forms of o rg a n iz a tio n and see how they g ra d u a lly
26 10 emerge from an u n d if f e r e n tia te d group of r e a c tio n s. The b a s ic u n i t of such an a n a ly s is is to be found in the beh a v io r p a tte r n sim ply d e fin e d as "a movement or a c tio n which has more or l e s s d e f in ite form." The b lin k in g of an eye, the g rasp in g a t random of an o b je c t, a re b eh av io r p a tte r n s in t h e i r sim p le st form s. These p a tte rn s, of c o u rs e, g ra d u a lly in c re a s e in com plexity as the developm ent of th e nervous system allow s them to do. Slow ly, but in a d e f i n i t e sequence, p a tte r n s are in c o rp o ra te d one to a n o th e r, w ith th e r e s u l t th a t th ey soon form an o rg an ized s t r u c tu r e. A ty p ic a l example of such an o rg a n iz a tio n is to be found in a study of the growth and developm ent o f th e v is u a l and p reh en sio n sy stem s. F i r s t th e v is u a l system : The eyes of a newborn baby a re a p t to rove around b o th in th e p resen ce and absence of a stim u l u s. A fte r s e v e ra l days or even h o u rs, the baby i s a b le to im m obilize the e y e b a lls f o r b r i e f p e rio d s. L a te r, he s ta r e s a t surroundings f o r long p e rio d s.

We move the r in g slow ly acro ss h is f i e l d of v is io n : he f o llo w s i t w ith h is eyes through an a rc of about 90 d e g rees.
27 This means t h a t the nerve c e lls w hich c o n tro l those tw elve tin y oculo-m otor m uscles have rip e n e d and fu rtherm ore have made p a tte rn e d co n n ectio n s w ith the g ro ss e r m uscles which r o t a t e the head. The mind m ust be growing, because b e h av io r is p a t t e r n i n g.13 But v is io n alone is f a r from s u f f i c i e n t to conquer the w orld. Things must be touched, t h e i r im pact must be f e l t, and th e g e o m e tric a l p r o p e r tie s of t h e i r s u rfa c e s must be rec o g n ize d. Movement is an e s s e n t ia l p a rt o f sense p e rc e p tio n. He must move h is hands to m an ip u late; j u s t as he must move h is eyes to in s p e c t. The nerve c e l ls w hich d e te r mine and d i r e c t h is hands in to movements a re lo c a te d i n the s p in a l cord and the b r a i n. 1 m. L et us now combine to g e th e r, as G e se ll does, the v is u a l nd p reh e n sio n mechanisms,: The eyes are s t i l l in the le a d. I t may take th e baby tw enty weeks more b e fo re he can p ick up th a t same p e l l e t w ith h is hand. The hands and f in g e r s come in to t h e i r own l a t e r (when the r e q u i s i t e nerve connections have rip e n e d.) However, th e in fa n t can hold a r a t t l e and look a t i t w hile he Is h o ld in g I t a t the age of 16 weeks. This is a s i g n i f ic a n t m ental grow th a g a in.

So i t is a p p ra ise d by p a t t e r n s. 15 The l a s t sta te m e n t must r e t a i n our a t t e n t i o n ; i t i s r e a l l y the crux of th e m a tte r, sin ce i t r e l a t e s d i r e c t l y

However, a n o th er q u e stio n l i e s ahead of us: to what a g e n t, to what cause must such a p a tte r n in g be a ttr ib u te d? A lso, what p a r t do environm ent and e x te rn a l s tim u la tio n play in such a s tr u c tu r a tio n? G esell answ ers th a t the c h ild "comes in to h is in c r e a s in g powers p rim a rily through I n t r i n s i c growth fo rc e s which / change the inm ost a r c h ite c tu r e of h is nervous system.

29 13. Again here we fin d a d e f i n i te i d e n t i f i c a t i o n of the growth of th e mind to th a t of a b io lo g ic a l p ro c e ss: What i s th e organism?

To one who may wonder how the v i s ib le w orld looks to a baby, G esell o f f e r s an answer which goes a l i t t l e f u r th e r th an the s o -o fte n quoted p ic tu r e of "big, bloom ing, buzzing / c o n f u s io n."
30 Ik. Much more probably the young baby senses th e v i s i b l e w orld a t f i r s t in f u g itiv e and f lu c tu a tin g b lo tc h e s a g a in s t a n e u tr a l background. Sounds l i k e wise may be heard as shreds of w avering d i s tin c tn e s s a g a in s t a n e u tr a l background of sile n c e or o f c o n tin u ous under tone. ^9 When, then, does th e w orld beg in to become stru c tu re d? Not u n t i l he can c o n fig u re i t w ith exp erien ce g a in ed through h is eyes and hands. I t is obvious th a t a u n iv e rse so p e r ceived is out of th e so c a lle d time b o u n d a rie s; in o th e r words th e re i s no p a s t and no f u t u r e.

The d iffe r e n c e here i s sim ply one of term s. Whereas we spoke b e fo re of a growing mind, we w i l l speak here of a growing p e r s o n a lity.
