Synopsis

Mentally Defective Children is a book written by Alfred Binet and published in 1914. The book is a comprehensive study of the psychology and education of children with mental disabilities. Binet was a French psychologist and is best known for his work in developing the first intelligence test, the Binet-Simon scale, which was used to identify children with intellectual disabilities. In Mentally Defective Children, Binet provides a detailed analysis of the different types of mental disabilities that children can have, including idiocy, imbecility, and feeblemindedness. He also discusses the causes of mental disabilities, such as heredity, disease, and injury. Binet stresses the importance of early identification and intervention for children with mental disabilities, and he provides guidance on how to assess and educate these children effectively.The book includes case studies of children with mental disabilities, providing insight into their behavior, abilities, and challenges. Binet also discusses the role of the family, teachers, and society in supporting children with mental disabilities. He argues that children with mental disabilities should be treated with kindness and respect, and that they have the potential to learn and develop if given appropriate support.Overall, Mentally Defective Children is a pioneering work in the field of special education and psychology. It provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by children with mental disabilities and offers practical guidance on how to support and educate them effectively.With An Appendix Containing The Binet-Simon Tests Of Intelligence And An Introduction By Professor Alexander Darroch.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Binet-S imon tests of childrens intelligence have been the subject of much discussion during the past few years, both in this country and in A merica. Much of this discussion seems to have been carried on, at times, without any knowledge of the original aim or purpose for which these tests were devised, and as if, so to speak, they were invented as a means for ascertaining the relative intellectual powers of all children, and so of affording to the teacher a ready and sure means of accurately classifying and grading the children under his charge. As a consequence, there is a tendency, in some quarters, to search for and to endeavour to establish some absolute standard or criterion of intelligence which shall be valid, irrespective of the nationality, or the class, or the particular environment of the child. It is hoped that the publication in translation of the work of Binet and Simon in which these tests first appeared, along with the complete series of tests as extended and revised during the lifetime of the former, will tend to remove this twofold misapprehension, and make the educationalist, as well as the wider public interested in social questions, acquainted with the real purpose which underlay the devisal or invention of the tests, and so enable all to perceive that their relative value, as measuring stages of intelligence, must be judged by the purpose for which they were devised.

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.
