From the Paper:

"Jean Piaget, with close to 600 professional publications, is probably one of the world's most prolific contributors to the world of science. Not only have his writings been on remote subject areas such as clams and mussels but transcend those of man's neurological psycho-genesis. What is important to remember about Piaget is that his studies of human behavior are not only forerunners to the constructionist era of human learning but also closely aligned with non-verbal living specimens. From the works of Piaget have come additional learning theories that further expand his original theories of learning."
