Synopsis

Drawing upon 40 years experience in the field, Preston offers practitioners a holistic guide to the use of validated tests of mental development in young children. She begins by exploring the meaning of mental development and the concepts of mind and thought. She then discusses such practical issues as test administration, skilled observation, and report writing. She also identifies where and how the most common errors in the assessment process are likely to arise and helps readers to become more aware of the subjective elements of their own perceptual mechanisms.
