Psychology Press Values and Knowledge - Jean Piaget Symposia Series Book

This Psychology Press volume explores the profound connections between values and knowledge in human development and cognition. The book provides a comprehensive overview of how valuation shapes what people attend to, think about, and remember, whilst examining the intricate relationship between evaluation and thinking processes. Drawing on developmental psychology research, the text offers new theoretical frameworks for understanding why personal values fundamentally influence knowledge acquisition and cognitive development. Ideal for psychology students, researchers, and professionals studying developmental psychology, cognitive processes, and the Piagetian tradition, this work addresses a significant gap in psychological literature by systematically investigating how evaluative processes guide learning and knowledge formation across the lifespan.
