TitleBryant, Peter Elwood: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date1987
DescriptionCitation typed
CitationDistinguished for his work in developmental psychology. Working with mentally retarded and normal children he has developed and provided experimental evidence for a theory linking children's perception and their intellectual development. He has demonstrated that children's logical abilities vastly exceed the estimates made by Piaget, and was the first to show that pre-verbal infants can link visual with tactual perception. He has developed a method for testing causal hypotheses about development by combining longitudinal prediction with intervention, and has established a causal link between children's early phonological skills, in particular their sensitivity to rhyme, and their later success in reading. He has also shown that these early phonological skills depend on early learning at home.
