The Psychology Of Subnormal Children (1920) - Leta Stetter Hollingworth - Bog

The Psychology Of Subnormal Children is a seminal work by Leta Stetter Hollingworth, first published in 1920. In this book, Hollingworth explores the psychological characteristics of children who are considered to be intellectually subnormal, or those who have a lower than average IQ. She examines the causes of intellectual disability, such as genetic factors, brain damage, and environmental factors, and explores the various methods used to assess intelligence, including standardized tests and observational measures. Hollingworth also discusses the educational and social implications of intellectual disability, including the challenges faced by subnormal children in school and in society at large. She advocates for a more individualized approach to education, tailored to the specific needs of each child, and emphasizes the importance of early intervention and support for subnormal children and their families. The Psychology Of Subnormal Children is a groundbreaking work that helped to establish the field of special education and paved the way for further research into the psychology of intellectual disability. It remains a valuable resource for educators, psychologists, and anyone interested in the study of human development and intelligence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
