Just a Thought: A Programme on Children’s Thinking

Synopsis
Margaret Donaldson’s book ‘Children’s Minds’ argues that young children reason more effectively than Piaget’s theories have led us to believe. Her thesis is based partly on the experiments of the late James McGarrigle, and this film demonstrates many of these experiments. The results are discussed by Dr Derek Boyle and Dr Irene Neilson, a former colleague of McGarrigle.
