[edit] Is this really Piaget?

I saw the following attributed to Piaget: "Intelligence is not what you know, but what you do when you don't know. " Can someone verify it and give a source? it means dat if u dont know something u have all knowledge.

• During the earliest stages, the child perceives things like a solipsist who is unaware of himself as subject and is familiar only with his own actions.

• During the earliest stages of thought, accommodation remains on the surface of physical as well as social experience.

• It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth.

• Our problem, from the point of view of psychology and from the point of view of genetic epistemology, is to explain how the transition is made from a lower level of knowledge to a level that is judged to be higher.

• Scientific knowledge is in perpetual evolution; it finds itself changed from one day to the next.

• Scientific thought, then, is not momentary; it is not a static instance; it is a process.

• The current state of knowledge is a moment in history, changing just as rapidly as the state of knowledge in the past has ever changed and, in many instances, more rapidly.
