The notion of time in children

A master of masters, the Swiss Jean Piaget is a fundamental reference for pedagogues and educators. While Freud explored the 90% of primordial processes that remain submerged in the mind, Piaget chose as his task the study of the 10% that emerge and correspond to the processes of consciousness and conceptual thought. A fundamental researcher in developmental psychology, Jean Piaget demonstrates in this work that the notion of time is not innate in humans. It emerges and develops in children through the gradual internalization of lived experiences of cause and effect. The notion of time in children occupies the center of Piaget's vast research on the development of human intelligence.
