Spanish term

observables

Spanish to English Social Sciences Psychology Piaget
Así, por ejemplo las nociones de asimilación y acomodación solo son pensables una con relación a la otra (como ocurre con los esquemas y observables; esquemas presentativos y procedurales, sujeto y objeto) e involucra considerarlas en su unidad dinámica.

THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT WAS, LOGICALLY, "OBSERVABLES" BUT ALL THE HITS I GET FOR "PIAGET OBSERVABLES" ARE IN SPANISH--AND MOST SEEM TO USE "OBSERVABLES" AS AN ADJECTIVE, NOT AS A NOUN.

ANYONE FAMILIAR ENOUGH WITH PIAGET TO KNOW WHAT THIS MIGHT BE?
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Muriel Vasconcellos, Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

observables - observable items - observable elements

I am not familiar with Piaget. He never invited me to breakfast, much less lunch o dinner.

However, we can observe.

http://blogs.unlp.edu.ar/psicologiagenetica/files/2015/08/No...

It seems like the adjective is being used as a noun.

The above link gives some clue.

Hope it helps to observe what is observable.

Thank you very much, Phil. :-)
agree Yvonne Gallagher : yes, you got there first. And of course it can be used as a noun! (I never got invited to anything by Piaget either so don't feel left out :-)

observable phenomena

There seem to be a lot of Ghits associated with Piaget for this phrase. Check them out for yourself.

agree JohnMcDove : Although I would have answered "observables" (using the proZ.com forbidden quotation marks), this answer seems valid to me as well...

observables

These are from English-language texts on Piaget:

"By repetitious interaction with our environment since birth we have learned that certain behaviors make for certain consequences and these consequences in turn are accompanied by **observables** which we either like or dislike. We then make the error of taking the **observables** and by generalization attaching a whole hierarchy of other events we like or dislike to them."
http://www.asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/1971/JASA9-71Clouse.html

Observables, Coordinations, Perturbations (Jean Piaget)
http://piagetmodeler.tumblr.com/

Those perturbations begin schemata reproduction... and schemata are built from observables, actions and goals.

observables (facts)/ observable facts

Piaget defines 'observables' and 'co-ordinations' as follows: 'An "observable" is that which experience makes it possible to identify by an immediate reading of the given events themselves...'

Children first read the observables with whatever 'tools of assimilation' they have available.

I feel bad about not agreeing with your answer but apart from the fact I prefer 'observable facts', I spent a few minutes copying text from books in case the links I provided don't work. I hope you understand.

Reference:

(the) observables

English literature on Piaget use "observables" as a noun.

The observables must therefore be defined by what the subject believes he perceives and not simply what is percievable.
https://books.google.es/books?id=ktcpkRn2HzsC&pg=PA169&lpg=P...

a balance not only between the subject and the object but also between the observables and the coordinations.
https://books.google.es/books?id=IozDfBUN39MC&pg=PT253&lpg=P...

occurs when the coordinations of one level become treated as the observables of the next.
