Originally published in English in 1971, structuralism was an increasingly important method of analysis in disciplines as diverse as mathematics, physics, biology, psychology, linguistics, sociology, anthropology and philosophy.

He explains and evaluates the work of the main people at work in the field Claude Levi-Strauss, Michel Foucault, Talcott Parsons, Noam Chomsky and concludes that structuralism has a rich and fruitful future ahead of it.

Although originally published in France in 1951 this English translation was not published until 1975.

In the course of their researches for "Mental Imagery in the Child" (1971), the authors came to appreciate that action may be more conducive to the formation and conservation of images than is mere perception. This raised the problem of memory and its relation to intelligence, which they examine in this title, originally published in English in 1973.

Through the analysis primarily of the child s capacity for remembering additive and multiplicative logical structures, and his remembrance of causal and spatial structures, the authors investigate whether memories pursue their own course,...
