“When mental development is under discussion, there are many who say, 'How does movement come into it? We are talking about the mind.'

“Praise, help, or even a look, may be enough to interrupt him, or destroy the activity. It seems a strange thing to say, but this can happen even if the child merely becomes aware of being watched.
