Excerpt from The Intelligence of the Feeble-Minded
It is with peculiar pleasure that the Vineland Research Department presents to the public Miss Kite's translation of Binet and Simon's work entitled The Intelligence of the Feeble-Minded.
Nowhere does Binet's genius show more brilliantly than in this work. That he in the midst of a busy life and in addition to all his other work could have acquired so great a knowledge of mental defectives is amazing; the more so when we realize that it was first-hand knowledge gained from observation backed by keen perception, that perception that enabled him to see the truth with a quickness that makes the rest of us, still groping in the dark, question if it was truth Binet saw. But that it was truth we arc learning every day. After ten years of the Vineland laboratory' it is surprising to find how little wc have found that Binet had not already discovered. It is true we have found it independently and so it is confirmatory evidence.
It is because our own experience has led us to the same conclusions, wherever we have studied the same points, that we have come to have such a profound regard for Binet that we feel like pronouncing this the most important and enlightening work on the real nature of the mental defective, that has ever appeared.
The study of the language of the feeble-minded will also be found most illuminating in a region usually characterized by darkness.
Finally the discussion of fccblc-mindcdness and dementia is quite as timely and enlightening as the rest.
We have included these various articles in this volume for two reasons: first, because they all contribute to our knowledge of the feeble-minded; and second, they all give us further illustration of the way Binet used his own Measuring Scale.
A word might be said in reference to the title. Binet and Simon's title for the first and longest section is "L'Intelligence des Imbéciles" literally "The Intelligence of the Imbeciles" but they definitely state (page 10) that they refer to the entire group of subnormals.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the realm of intellectual disabilities, exploring the minds of those categorized as 'feeble-minded' during the early 20th century. The author, a pioneer in the field of psychology, challenges prevailing notions and misconceptions surrounding intellectual disabilities, offering instead a nuanced understanding based on meticulous observation and insightful analysis. Through detailed case studies and scientific investigations, the book examines the characteristics of various types of 'feeble-mindedness,' including idiots, imbeciles, and morons, as they were then classified. The author explores diverse aspects of their mental functioning, such as attention, character, voluntary effort, and language ability. By comparing the intellectual development of these individuals to that of normal children, the author constructs a 'psychogenetic' method, shedding light on the stages and mechanisms of mental evolution. The book critically examines the relationship between character and intelligence, questioning oversimplified assumptions about 'anti-social' or 'extra-social' behaviors. Instead, it emphasizes the complex interplay of individual dispositions, social environments, and specific circumstances in shaping the actions of those with intellectual disabilities. This groundbreaking work offers invaluable insights into the nature of intellectual disabilities, dispelling myths and fostering a more compassionate and informed perspective on the diverse spectrum of human intelligence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
