From the Back Cover
Understanding Children's Development is the UK's best-selling developmental psychology textbook and has been widely acclaimed for its international coverage and rigorous research-based approach. This dynamic text emphasizes the practical and applied implications of developmental research. It begins by introducing the ways in which psychologists study developmental processes before going on to consider all major aspects of development from conception through to adolescence.
For the fifth edition, the entire text has been updated to take account of developments in the field, whilst retaining all the content and features that have made it so popular amongst both students and lecturers. Major revisions include:
- New and expanded chapters on antisocial behavior and on children and media
- New material on many topics such as: children and day care; developments in cognitive neuroscience; the physical punishment debate; changes in the adolescent brain
- Extended coverage of prosocial behavior, family contexts and involving children in research
- Expanded artwork program and full-color design
Each chapter provides lucid discussion of the material, enlivened by the inclusion of revealing case studies, real-world examples, 'Stop and Think' boxes and ideas for classroom debate.
