The Mind of the Child - Part I

“The Mind of the Child – Part I: The Senses and the Will” is a groundbreaking work in early developmental psychology. Based on meticulous daily observations of his own son during the first three years of life, Preyer explores how a child’s sensory perception and willpower gradually emerge and evolve. He records the child’s reactions to sound, light, touch, taste, and movement, alongside the beginnings of intentional actions and self-control. Blending scientific rigor with deep human curiosity, the book offers one of the first systematic efforts to understand the inner workings of a child’s mind.
"The Mind of the Child: Part I - The Senses and the Will" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1893.
