The mechanisms of perception / by Piaget, Jean,1896-1980.(CARDINAL)137606;
Includes bibliographical references.Primary illusions and the Law of Relative Centrations -- Effects of centration -- Perceptual activities and secondary illusions -- Perceptual constancies and causality -- Perceptions of movement, of velocity and of time -- Difference, similarities and possible filiations between the structures of perception and those of intelligence -- The perceptual or non-perceptual origins of the structures of intelligence -- Conclusion: the epistemology of perception.This major work represents a synthesis of Piaget's pioneering studies on the development of perception (many of them reported here for the first time), which he has conducted over the past quarter-century. Perception has been studied in many ways. Piaget's investigations, however, have focused on two general problems to which most specialists have paid little attention: (1) the relationship between perception and intelligence and (2) the epistemological status of perception compared with that of other forms of knowledge. Toward the solution of these and other problems, Piaget applies his well-known genetic method. From exhaustive investigations into perceptual illusions, and their strengthening or weakening under different conditions and with subjects of different ages, Piaget proceeds to an examination of the structures of intelligence and their relation to perception.-- Book Jacket.

In-between places / by Killian, Alex,author.(CARDINAL)890520; McFerrin, Grady,illustrator.(CARDINAL)593682;
Children explore the concepts of in-between times and places, and the role they play in everyone's journey. Sometimes you know just where you are going. Sometimes you don't. Sometimes you find yourself in an in-between place. A place that is neither here nor there. A place where you can go up or down, left or right. So how do you know which way to go? Poetic and reassuring, it reminds us that sometimes we just need to take a leap to land exactly where we're meant to be. It builds confidence by encouraging readers to meet new experiences with an open mind and confidently take on any challenges that come their way. It encourages readers to leap into new beginnings and uplifts any reader who finds themselves navigating an in-between time. It gives creative and encouraging ways to talk with kids about change, transition, self-doubt, or any milestone moment in their lives--Grades 2-3.Ages 5-8.

Play to progress : lead your child to success using the power of sensory play / by Ticktin, Allie,author.; Lee, Brian,illustrator.(CARDINAL)772235;
Includes bibliographical references (pages [229] -231] and index.Introduction: Sensory success -- The sensory system -- Meaningful movement : moving the body to engage the vestibular sense -- Increasing body awareness : enhancing the proprioceptive sense -- Getting in touch : strengthening tactile experience -- Seeing clearly : honing the visual system -- A little taste : waking up the gustatory system -- Scent-sational : getting the olfactory system engaged -- Sounds good! : getting the auditory system in sync -- The sense inside the body : being aware of interoception -- Making a plan : praxis in action -- Power at the fingertips : building motor skills -- A final word."A game-changing book on child development--and the importance of physical play--for this digital and screen age"--For children to develop to their fullest potential, their sensory system-- the five basic senses, movement and balance, body awareness, and internal perception-- needs to be stimulated from the time they are born. Children explore their environment by touching new textures, including their food, running, jumping, climbing, and splashing outside. In the past kids spent their days playing outside and naturally engaging their sensory system and building key developmental skills. Ticktin has seen an increase in cases of children who are delayed in walking, talking, and playing by themselves and with their peers-- because they are spending more time in front of screens and less time exploring and interacting with their environment. Here she offers activities that will encourage development of sensory play. -- adapted from jacket.
