From Piaget’s Constructivist, Process Worldview to Methods

Jeremy I. M. Carpendale & Beau Wallbridge

Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “A Temporal Puzzle: Metamorphosis of the Body in Piaget’s Early Writings” by Marc J. Ratcliff. Abstract: We follow Ratcliff in explicating and justifying the method Piaget used to study the developmental pathways of emerging skills in infancy. We move toward justifying this method by showing how it follows from his constructivist, process worldview.
