""The Development of Intelligence in Children"" is a comprehensive book written by Alfred Binet, a French psychologist, which explores the concept of intelligence in children. The book is divided into two parts: the first part discusses the theoretical framework of intelligence and the second part focuses on practical applications of intelligence testing.Binet argues that intelligence is not a fixed trait but rather a dynamic process that can be developed and improved over time. He emphasizes the importance of environmental factors, such as education and socialization, in shaping a child's intelligence. The book also delves into the different types of intelligence, such as verbal and nonverbal, and how they can be measured.In the second part of the book, Binet introduces his famous intelligence test, the Binet-Simon Scale, which was the first standardized intelligence test. He explains the methodology behind the test and provides examples of how it can be used to identify children who may need extra educational support.Overall, ""The Development of Intelligence in Children"" is a seminal work in the field of psychology and education, providing valuable insights into the nature of intelligence and its development in children.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

The first contribution of Drs. Binet and Simon to the problem of measuring intelligence appeared in LA nne Psychologique for 1905. This volume reached America early in 1906. The Vineland Research Laboratory for the psychological study of feeblemindedness was opened in September of the same year. My first work as director of this Laboratory was to search the literature for anything that bore upon the problem. The above article had attracted so little attention from the American psychologists that in spite of dilligent search in bibliographies, reviews, original sources and by appeals to personal friends, Binet swork in this line was never brought to my attention. It was not until the Spring of 1908 when I made a visit to Europe in the interests of the work that I learned of the tests. On that trip a visit was made to Dr. Decroly in Brussels. Dr. Decroly and Mile. Degand had just completed a try-out of tests by Drs. Binet and Simon of Paris. Upon my return home I began at once to use the tests on the children of the Training School, employing Decroly sarticle as the source of information. Later I obtained Binet sarticle. These were the 1905 tests, not the scale. In December 1908 I published a six-page account of these tests. In 1909 appeared LA nnee Psychologique giving the Scale, with the grading by years. Probably no critic of the scale during the past six years has reacted against it more positively than did I at that first reading. I tseemed impossible to grade intelligence in that way. It was too easy, too simple. 1T he article was laid aside for some weeks. One day while using the old tests, whose inadequacy was great, the new Scale came to mind and I decided to give it a fair trial. In January 1910 we published the first abstract of the scale being a brief summary of the 1908 Binet-S imon article. i Our use of the scale was a surprise and a gratificatio

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
