Mental Development in the Child and the Race (1895)

by James Mark Baldwin, Robert H. Wozniak (Editor)

In his classic analysis of fundamental mechanisms of biopsychological development, Baldwin argued for the interplay of habit and accommodation as expressed through the circular reaction. This view came to exert a significant influence on the thought of Jean Piaget and, through Piaget, on modern developmental psychology.
