Binet Staging System

The Binet Staging System is a method used to assess and categorize children's intellectual development. Developed by Alfred Binet in the early 20th century, it involves a series of tasks designed to evaluate memory, reasoning, and problem-solving skills. Children are assigned a "mental age" based on their ability to complete these tasks, which helps identify their level of cognitive ability compared to peers. This system has been foundational in the development of modern intelligence testing, aiding educators and psychologists in understanding children's learning needs and potential.
