Study of IMAGINATION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD

This is Volume IX of thirty-two on a series on Developmental Psychology. First published in 1935 this study looks at the development of imagination in children. Which uses a method in which observation of the free behaviour of children plays the principal role but in which experimental technique is represented by a somewhat rigorous control of conditions by a discreet use of question and answer and by an emphasis on the necessity for accurate and full report while psychoanalysis at the same time contributes a depth of insight a realization of the importance of affective factors and an alertness for the significance of detail.
