Features: The purpose of the book "Psychological Development and the History of Science" is to demonstrate that the mechanisms of cognitive processes in the scientific field are closely aligned with the mechanisms discovered by Piaget in the field of psychological development through an analysis of the development of the history of science. Researchers have found that, in addition to the mechanisms described in Piaget's major work "The Equilibration of Cognitive Structures," there is also a more universal mechanism, which we call the "stage (IaIrT) mechanism." This mechanism is the cornerstone of this book. The knowledge construction theory of the researchers can be said to have bridged the gap between the dialectical thinking style with Eastern characteristics and the dominant logical deduction formalism in the West.
