The Blackwell Reader in Developmental Psychology contains articles that have been selected to reflect the wide variety of topics investigated by developmental scientists, the dynamic changing nature of the subject, and the current state of the art. All of the articles, many of which have been specially commissioned for this book, are accessible to students at all levels of their studies in developmental psychology. The Reader can thus be used either in conjunction with, or as a replacement for, a textbook that offers an introduction to this dynamic area of study.
