Synopsis

This is a lively and stimulating resource for all students of child development. The book begins with an overview of the field, placing the subsequent readings in context within the discipline. It includes classic essays and important recent research, along with suggestions for using the reader and for developing related study skills. The texts are divided into six sections which reflect the major areas of research and study in developmental psychology: starting off in life; language and communication; cognition and representation; literacy and numeracy; others and their influence; and towards adulthood. Ideal for students in developmental psychology, the book will also interest students in education, social work, and health professions.
