Abstract

DUMONT first specifies details concerning the motivation of his subjects. He also compares the produced answers with other data obtained from the army files. According to ESPERET, similar researches have already been done but DUMONT disagrees and claims that his research shows that there is no “stage of formal thought”. He regrets that the classical tests are used as “mathematical tests”.
