Synopsis

Excerpt from A Method of Measuring the Development of the Intelligence of Young Children

The translator is of the Opinion that just such a manual is needed in the United States at the present time. So much has appeared in our educational press concerning the Binet Simon System and the practical value of its application to the problems of special education that a widespread interest has been awakened; indeed the system has become popular. Unfortunately, this popularity is not paralleled by accurate knowledge concerning it. The surface simplicity of the method has encouraged many to attempt its application with little more knowledge concerning it than that supplied by the list of tests. This is undoubtedly largely owing to the fact that none of the binet-simon articles on the subject have been translated in full; extracts have appeared and many criticisms, but the articles themselves have never appeared in English form. To put into the hands of our educational public the Binet - Simon System in the form and with the instructions and explanations presented by its authors, this translation has been prepared.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The article here translated appeared in the Bulletin de la Societe libre pour 1E tude Psychologique de 1E nfant, A prilf 1911. It is a brief but complete statement of the Binet Simon method of examining the intelligence and determining the mental level of children. -T he aim of the authors was to present their system of tests as finally revised with adequate explanation and instruction for its use, but without the theoretical and philosophical discussion accompanying its presentation in LA nnee Psy -chologique. It is in fact a convenient manual for those who wish to use the method. The translator is of the opinion that just such a manual is needed in the United States at the present time. So much has appeared in our educational press concerning the Binet Simon System and the practical value of its application to the problems of special education that a widespread interest has been awakened; indeed the system has become popular. Unfortunately, this popularity is not paralleled by accurate knowledge concerning it. The surface simplicity of the method has encouraged many to attempt its application with little more knowledge concerning it than that supplied by the list of tests. This is undoubtedly largely owing to the fact that none of the Binet-S imon articles on the subject have been translated in full; extracts have appeared and many criticisms, but the articles themselves have never appeared in English form. To put into the hands of our educational public the Binet-S imon System in the form and with the instructions and explanations presented by its authors, this translation has been prepared. The series of tests presented in the 1911 article is the result of a gradual development.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
