About this title

Review

This text is highly recommended to anyone who wants their students to walk away from their developmental psychology course knowledgeable about the core issues in cognitive and social development and more confident about approaching the literature on developmental neuroscience...Discussion points throughout the chapters are well thought out and will be helpful to instructors who may not be experts in developmental psychology themselves.
