Classic Piaget Series

Piaget had to develop new vocabulary to express the discoveries he made about the development of human cognition. His work is thus difficult to read for beginning students. With these videos generations of students have been able to experience the clinical interviews upon which he based his theories. These programs were filmed between 1968 and 1978.
