(1) A sample of 72 Ghanaian children evenly divided according to sex and early, middle and later stages of primary schooling were administered a series of tasks adapted from Piaget & Inhelder (1971); the same tasks were given to an equivalent group of Scottish children.
(2) The developmental sequence of recognition of shapes suggested by Piaget and Inhelder has been examined in cross-modal (touch-vision) and intramodal (vision-vision) conditions by using the method of similarity judgement.
(3) This latter result is inconsistent with Piaget and Inhelder's characterization of an early stage of development.
(4) Piaget used the term perspective to mean point of view (Piaget & Inhelder, 1967, p. 210), and the present usage does not imply linear perspective.
(5) Results were interpreted as consistent with Inhelder and Piaget's contention that the comprehension of abstract relations requires formal operations.
(6) This study investigated nonverbal behavior patterns of 11 adolescents who responded to the Inhelder-Piaget (1958) balance task, which provides an assessment of proportional reasoning and was the first study of how students behave while being assessed for formal reasoning ability.
(7) Logical judgment was measured using adaptations of the pendulum and correlations tasks of Inhelder and Piaget; moral judgment was scored using the standard Kohlberg interview.
(8) It appears that the procedure used in the present study is an easier and probably more reliable way of assessing perspective responses than the original procedure of Piaget and Inhelder.
(9) Logical judgment was measured with adaptations of the pendulum and correlations tasks devised by Inhelder and Piaget (1958); sociomoral judgment was scored with the standard Kohlberg interview.
(10) Memory is part of a knowledge base which interacts with cognition and also represents a "preservation of experience" (Piaget & Inhelder, 1973).
(11) Hetzer and Inhelder show that the retarded child annot utilize his play area because of poor imagination and lack of expressive skills.
(12) A series of ANOVAs on four scales of the AES (imaginary audience, personal fable, self-in-general, nonsocial) provided partial support for Inhelder and Piaget's, and Elkind's views that adolescent egocentrism is a function of beginning formal operations.
(13) The results were interpreted as support for Piaget and Inhelder's theory of imagery development.
(14) Piaget and Inhelder showed that children do not realize that the surface of a fluid remains horizontal in a tilted vessel.
