About This Book
This book is exclusively concerned with behaviour - from material action to operations. The experiments described were conducted in the course of research devised to complete the study of causality at the Center of Genetic Epistemology in Geneva. In this book the situations studied are those in which success in action is achieved early because the necessary coordinations result from simple differentiations arising from more or less automatic regulations of an initially general nature.
