Shorter Notice
THE lay reader, at first slightly repelled by such language as (of a three-year-old), "he will persist in a non-adaptive motor- pattern" and in "solving spatial problems which would yield to more delicate analysis," .is quickly won by the immense industry, observation and patience of these research workers. (" One occa- sionally meets a child at this age, three, who is more interested in climbing on the table and chairs . . . than in complying with the examination requirements.") Their love and understanding is not concealed by this somewhat dry approach. The photo- graphs of small children unconscious of the camera are enchant- ing; and memory returns to the developmental sequences of the four-year-old who says, "I'm smart. I'll sock you on the jaw. You're a rat."
