Loss of a Chance’ Revisited
In Gregg v Scott' the Court of Appeal has returned to the vexed question of whether to allow damages for the 'loss of a chance' of avoiding death or injury in cases of medical negligence. In doing so, it was not only required to deal with a 'new' submission on behalf of the claimant, but also to consider directly the original submissions in favour of such a claim which had been side-stepped by the House of Lords in Hotson v East Berkshire Health …

Generalising Through the Verbal Medium
When presented with abstract notions through the verbal media of books, newspapers, talks, TV and radio, people often produce quite erroneous generalisations. Thus the notion aggression can evoke, besides a true generalisation inhumanity, a particularisation imperialism, a transductive exploitation, and an associated but non-essential attribute detestable, each of the last three being mistaken as a notion more general than the original concept.

Predilection for Generalising and Abstracting
S ummary . This study reports the development of a sentence preference test designed to contrast tendencies to abstract, generalise and particularise in thinking. Certain terms carry both general and abstract meanings. Using such words in sentences bringing out these differing meanings provides an indication of readiness to use abstractions and generalisations. A variety of samples of secondary school pupils in the age range 11+ to 16 years were …
A Study of Differences in the Judgments of Adolescent Pupils
A cross-sectional method was devised to investigate the differences in the judgments and reasoning of adolescent pupils when presented with connected passages calling for comprehension. Two passages were written to bring out certain features of the pupils' thinking such as tautological and irrelevant thinking, circumstantial judgments and finally, comprehensive judgments involving the imagination and evocation of possible explanations. Three larg…

Experimental Examination of Some of Piaget's Schemata Concerning Children's Perception and Thinking, and a Discussion of Their Educational Significance
S ummary . This paper describes four researches designed to test the substance of some of Piaget's schemata for the mental development of children. The first two investigations are concerned with haptic perception and spatial relationships in drawing, the third is devoted to the child's logical judgments, and the fourth to his moral judgments. Large numbers of children were put in Piaget's situations, the numbers ranging from thirty‐two to sixty.…
