This paper extends a recent line of research by correlating Piaget's theory of cognitive development with several psychoanalytic perspectives on development during the second and third years of life. The concrete, imagistic, unintegrated nature of mental representations associated by Mahler and Kernberg with this period, along with the mental operation of splitting, are related to preconceptual representation, a cognitive mode described by Piaget. Psychoanalytic perspectives on the body ego and object world associated with the anal period are also seen to involve concrete, unintegrated representations which show correspondence with preconceptual cognition. Parallels are explored between cognitive stages and the psychoanalytic understanding of ego and superego development. While psychoanalysis is not a cognitive psychology, aspects of its theory are concerned with cognitive structure and are enriched by a consideration of cognitive development.
本文通过将皮亚杰的认知发展理论与关于生命第二年和第三年发展的几种精神分析观点相关联，扩展了最近的一系列研究。玛勒和克恩伯格所描述的与这一时期相关的心理表征的具体、形象、未整合的性质，以及分裂的心理运作，与皮亚杰所描述的前概念表征这一认知模式相关。与肛门期相关的关于身体自我和客体世界的精神分析观点也被认为涉及具体的、未整合的表征，这些表征与前概念认知相对应。本文探讨了认知阶段与精神分析对自我和超我发展的理解之间的相似之处。虽然精神分析不是一种认知心理学，但其理论的某些方面涉及认知结构，并通过对认知发展的思考而得到丰富。
