Summary:Reviews the book, Perspectives on Intellectual Development: The Minnesota Symposia on Child Psychology, Vol. 19 edited by Marion Perlmutter (1986). A n otherwise interesting and instructive volume, Perspectives on Intellectual Development offers the reader no assessment of the success of the reported symposium on intellectual development in meeting its stated goal, to provide a "progress report on thinking and research about cognitive development". The varied investigations described are not placed in either a theoretical or historical context nor is there an indication of how representative the selections are of current work on cognitive or intellectual development. This volume offers a set of analyses and empirical findings on important current issues bearing on cognitive and intellectual development by a highly competent group of investigators that this brief review cannot fully capture.
