We are now more afraid of one another than we used, to be of white folks.

A basic issue here is how stages are related to the child's ac-tual intellectual functioning. Developmentalists disagree as to whether Piaget thought that the logical structure of each stage should lead to sim-ilarity in thought over a variety of content areas (Chapman, 1988; Lourenco & Machado, 1996). The structural model may be an idealized model of thought that differs somewhat from the psychological func-tioning of the child. Perhaps the problem of interpreting what Piaget meant is that "Piaget used too much logic for psychologists and too much psychology for logicians"
