Open the nearest book

Go to page 123, count down five sentences and post the next three sentences.

This is what I found:

"In the normal course of events we are not consciously analyzing each sentence in this manner, but unless we have acquired the necessary concepts in the course of our lives we cannot fully understand the meaning of the sentence. Piaget has pointed out that children use such forms long before they grasp the structures of meaning corresponding to these syntactical forms. The work of Vigostsky (Chapter 7) indicates that this is because the child forms pseudo-concepts through intercourse with adults which have the outer form of adult concepts but the content of much more primitive mental processes.

Can you guess the book or the title or even the subject?

No, but thanks for guessing. It's Educational Psychology by E. Stones. I need to read it to try to pass and Educational Psychology CLEP test. Wish me luck!
