L’équilibration des structures cognitives : problème central du développement

Considered by Piaget as the culmination of his work, this 33rd volume of Studies in Genetic Epistemology refers to many previous works and in particular to the first model of equilibration, published in 1957 in Logic and Equilibrium. The book shows how the mechanism of equilibrium operates to compensate for the disequilibria caused by incomplete coordinations between the observables of the subject and the observables of the objects. This model allows us to explain the transformations of knowledge and the emergence of new constructions.
