First published in 1986, this authoritative book contains a
selection of original, research based, reports of studies conducted
in Australia and New Zealand in the field of Child Development. The
topics have been arranged into four major sections - cognitive
issues in development, language and reading development, perpetual
motor development and social aspects of development. Both pure and
applied research issues are presented, and the chapters cover child
development from infancy to adolescence. The book's special
strength lies in the diversity of topics tackled and the range of
developmental research represented. Theoretical viewpoints are
raised and empirical questions answered in the studies reported.
The editors have systematically drawn together important
contributions which reflected contemporary topics in child
development at the time. Although no one common theoretical or
empirical theme unites either each section or the whole book (which
reflects the general scope and diversity of child development in
the 1980s), the contributors in general see the child as developing
through active interaction with his or her environment. This
interactionist position is clearly preferred by most researchers,
who realised that simplistic genetic or environmental models are
inadequate to explain the complex development of the child. The
editors were all active researchers in the area of child
development at the time and each co-authored a chapter in the book.
All published regularly in national and international journals and
books, and were aware of current developments in their main areas
of expertise. All those interested in issues in child development
will find this book important reading, as it provides the reader
with an excellent and diverse selection of studies, bearing on a
wide range of empirical research.
