About this title

Synopsis

The concept of "intersubjectivity" has emerged as a common denominator in approaches to infant communication and children's understanding of thought and emotion in others. This book brings together for the first time leading international figures in psychology, psychopathology, sociology, and primatology to address the key question of the role of intersubjectivity in early development. These distinguished contributors offer a new understanding of child development, learning and communication. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers in emotion and communication across the social and behavioral sciences.

Book Description

The concept of intersubjectivity is common to approaches to interpersonal engagements in early infancy and children's understanding of others' thought and emotion. It may be understood in terms of interpersonal communication, joint attention or a second-order sense of shared representations. This book brings together for the first time senior international figures in the social and behavioural sciences to examine the role of intersubjectivity in early ontogeny. Together, they offer a new understanding of child development, learning and communication and highlight important comparisons with processes in autism and infant ape development.
