About this Item

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

About this title

Synopsis

Consistent with the direction the field of developmental psychology is heading towards (an expanded vision that gives greater attention to individual differences and cultural variation), Bjorklund's extensively revised new edition offers a unique theme: individual differences in cognition can be most profitably understood by a consideration of developmental function. Capturing the flavor and excitement of the field, Bjorklund offers several new chapters, including groundbreaking coverage of social cognition, biology, culture and cognition, and emerging theories. Rather than taking a selective approach, Bjorklund extensively summarizes theory and research, offering breadth of coverage and an empirical perspective
