The Development of Perception, Cognition and Language

A Theoretical Approach

af Paul van Geert

Originally published in 1983, the first part of this book deals with the concept of development in relation to the structure of developmental theories. It is argued that theories originate from (implicit) conceptual analyses of (implicit) final state definitions. Starting from this specific view on the nature of developmental theories, the second part of the book discusses perception and perceptual development.
