Nearly 20 years after the first edition captivated readers, Fundamentals of Developmental Psychology returns in its third edition, offering a thoroughly updated and enriched exploration of developmental psychology. Building on the success of previous editions, this new version reflects the latest discoveries and evolving perspectives in the field, while maintaining the clarity, accessibility, and engaging style that have made it a favourite among students and instructors alike.
New chapters on ‘Prenatal Development,’ ‘Development in Adolescence,’ and ‘Development of Self’ expand the book’s scope, while integrated examples of atypical development and global perspectives reflect the diversity of developmental trajectories and the growing emphasis on decolonizing the curriculum. The book continues to balance cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development, while emphasizing the importance of theory in explaining developmental changes, going beyond mere description to uncover the mechanisms that drive growth and change. Designed with pedagogy at its core, this edition is packed with features to support learning and engagement. Bolded key terms, chapter aims, stop and think boxes, chapter summaries, example essay questions, and further reading are included to support learning and engagement, alongside a complete glossary for clarity.
Perfect for introductory courses, this third edition provides a comprehensive yet concise introduction to developmental psychology. With its engaging content, full-colour illustrations, and student-friendly organisation, it inspires curiosity and critical thinking while equipping readers with the tools to explore the complexities of developmental psychology and the fascinating journey of human growth and change.
Accompanied by support materials, instructors can access lecture slides summarising key content with diagrams from the book, a test bank of multiple-choice questions for assessment, and an online glossary for easy download. A letter to instructors also provides guidance on using the text and highlights major updates from the previous edition.
