Notes for a Constructivist Theory of Intelligence.

Abstract

A great many commentators on Piaget’s work nowadays, still take it for granted that intelligence is of an individual nature, and therefore that its socialization is nothing but a mere effect of the cognitive evolution process. This interpretation consists of substantializing intelligence, resorting to reductional explanations and considers the epistemological constructive process a simple actualization of possible pre-established cognitives. A series of investigations have suggested the existence of a casual interdependence within social dynamics and the cognitive development. These researches call attention to the necessity of re-discussion on the status of interaction.
