Piaget’s godfather introduced him to philosophy. At Neuchâtel University he finished natural-science studies in 1916 and earned the doctoral degree for research on mollusks in 1918. One article, written when he was 15, led to a job offer at Geneva’s natural-history museum he declined in order to continue his education. His help in classifying Neuchâtel’s natural-history museum collection stimulated his study of mollusks (shellfish). When he was 11, his notes on a rare part-albino sparrow were published, the first of hundreds of articles and over fifty books. Jean Piaget was born on August 9, 1896, in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, the son of a historian. The Swiss psychologist and educator Jean Piaget (1896–1980) is famous for his learning theories based on identifiable stages in the development of children’s intelligence.
