Synopsis:

The Developmental Psychology Textbook, a companion to the Developmental Psychology reader, breaks new ground by providing undergraduates with a precise and attainable presentation of developmental psychology across a wide array of issues now at the forefront of current research. Written by an international team of experts, this valuable text examines child development from infancy to adolescence taking a broad, chronological, topic-based approach. Chapters are organized into five sections: life processes and infancy; cognitive and representational growth; atypical development; the influence of others; and adulthood. This organization is key because it allows the text to be read in any order, depending on the needs and emphasis of the course being taught. In addition, a range of features, such as boxed extracts, discussion points, seminar questions, and suggestions for further reading, are provided to assist both class-based and individual work. Undergraduates studying psychology, education, and cognitive science will find this text an exemplary guide to the world of developmental psychology.
