The Development of Children's Thinking offers undergraduate and
graduate students in psychology and other disciplines an
introduction to several core areas of developmental psychology. It
examines recent empirical research within the context of
longstanding theoretical debates. In particular, it shows how a
grasp of classic theories within developmental psychology is vital
for a grasp of new areas of research such as cognitive neuroscience
that have impacted on our understanding of how children develop.
The focus of this book will be on infancy and childhood, and it
looks at: Theories and context of development How developmental
psychology attempts to reconcile influences of nature and nurture
Communication in infancy as a precursor to later thinking Language
development in primates and young children Cognitive and social
development, including the child's understanding of the mind How
studies of moral reasoning reflect upon our understanding of
development
