In Child Behavior: A Critical and Experimental Study of Young Children, the book treats each child as a whole person to be understood in context, not just as an isolated data point.
It presents a thoughtful approach to studying how young minds grow, learn, and respond to their environment through careful experimentation and observation.
This edition explains how researchers examine the development of conditioned reflexes in children and what these curves and trials reveal about learning, memory, and adaptation. It includes real-case observations and graphic records that illustrate how behavior changes over time with different stimuli and intervals between trials.
- See why researchers emphasize the dynamic interaction of child and environment.
- Learn how conditioned reflexes are studied in young children and what this teaches about learning.
- Explore the use of case records, trials, and memorial functioning in developmental research.
- Understand how findings relate to early education and child development practice.
Ideal for readers of early experimental psychology, child study, and education, this edition offers clear, concrete explanations of its methods and findings.
