Psychology recognizes two types of research, experimental and differential. The former is concerned mainly with the overall processes governing human activities, and the latter sets out to establish individual differences in performance. More recent studies have demonstrated the line need for a third type of psychological study, namely, that which has to do with human development rather than considering this aspect of human performance as a part of the first two types, scientists have noted that developmental research indeed belongs in a separate category in and of itself. Piaget's work would indisputably fall in the area of developmental theories that have had great impact on both experimental and differential research. When examining Piaget's studies, it is neccssary to keep in mind that, while his theories have been highly influential, his methodology has been strongly criticized.

 The New Scotland Yard, the most famous police unit in the world, is the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police in London: The police force in London was established in 1829 under an act of the Britsh government. The police station and the office, whose task was to deal with the public, was located at the back of the Westminster area, where mostly government buildings were located. The police station faced a vacant plot of land, called Great Scotland Yard According to one legend, the land was 
set aside to build a residence for the kings of Scodand, who frequently visited the city. However, such a house was never constructed. Another story says that the plot was owned by an Englishman, named Adam Scot, but little proof of this version exists. After the police force of London was founded, the building housed the police headquarters from September 29, 1829. The entire police division consisted of two commissioners, eight superintendents, 20 inspectors, 88 sergeants, and 895 constables. Together they represented a formidable force, and the 50-room building functioned as an administrative center that dealt with public inquiries, correspondence, and recruitment. By 1887, the staffing of the police force had grown to about 13,000, and it became evident that the accommodations had to be expanded. A new building on the Thames Embanlanent was erected in 1907 and another in 1940. With the advent of new technology, paramount in police detective work, chemical, electronic, and forensic laboratories experienced a severe shortage of space. The diversification of police duties led to inevitable growth in the number of the enlisted men and women. As an outcome, Scotland Yard leased a 20-story office complex on Victoria Street at Broadway. The ever-expanding headquarters were named New Scotland Yard.
