This book, which incorporates the content of a course given at the Collège de France in 1942, is the executive summary of the research of Piaget psychogenetic over intelligence.
Defined in broader sense as the ability to build structures movable and reversible, for the author intelligence is just a generic term for the various "clusters" of logical operations that man is capable of performing, the mere perception of an object (which is already built) to the prorated, through the sorting, matching, substitution, etc. abstraction.
Piaget states, as opposed to the German school of "psychology of thinking" (Denkpsychologie), that logic is "the mirror of pensamneto" and not the reverse.
Thus, intelligence is conceived as an equilibrium state of thought to which man arrives at the end of a long evolution in which various steps the author takes care to draw. Intelligence pre-verbal thinking oratory, there are changes increasingly complex and far between the subject and the objects seized by him.
If the rhythm characteristic of instinctive or reflexive behaviors (eating, drinking, playing himself) and intuitive thought and sensorimotor intelligence are marked by regulation, is the group that defines intelligence operative "form" for the final equilibrium which tend all cognitive processes.
