Short description
Few areas of research have yielded more exciting results in recent years than studies on infant and childhood cognition. Reflecting great strides undertaken in this important field, the new edition presents a thorough and authoritative overview of the latest research on various areas of a child's cognitive development, including the newest data from cognitive neuroscience. Top scholars in their respective fields have either updated contributions from the first edition by incorporating their latest findings and developments or, in several instances, have provided entirely new chapters. This is an invaluable resource on the latest research and theories that shape our understanding of the crucial cognitive development of a child.
