I've never studied psychology, only read some Foucault texts and other things for my college class. Last year, I was introduced to Piaget and Vygotsky, and I found their cognitive development theories very interesting. I would really like to learn more about that, but wouldnt know where to begin. Do you have any advices for a novice like me? Some texts that would make reading about constructivism easier? Because psychology texts tend to have a lot of jargon and can be very... abstract.
Also, sorry; I don't know if this thread should be posted here or on /his/.

Psychoanalysis is fun but it's totally unsubstantiated wankery
Psychology as a science is boring

If you liked Piaget, you should read "Six Psychological Studies". It's the most basic, introductory book about his work. It's a collection of 6 essays written by himself.
If you are interested in behavior, you should read About Behaviourism, by Skinner. It's a much more dense work, but he can very clearly give you an understanding on how behaviourism works.
Although not psychology, psychoanalysis is a subject you should also check out. A very good book on Freud's thoughts are Civilization and Its Discontents. Should give you a nice introduction to his works. It was also written by him.
All in all, keep in mind that psychology, for the most part, is a science. There are a lot of neurophysiological explanations for behaviour and human thought. However, it's also very much a human science, so much so that there is something called Social Psychology.
If you want to discuss anything else, I'm here my man. I'm majoring in psychology for some reason.

Cognition and Perception. Get yourself a textbook or two. I studied visual perception in school. Incredibly fascinating. I recommend A Vision of The Brain by Semir Zeki
