"A Young Mind in a Growing Brain" summarizes some initial
conclusions that follow simultaneous examination of the
psychological milestones of human development during its first
decade and what has been learned about brain growth. This volume
proposes that development is the process of experience working on a
brain that is undergoing significant biological maturation.
Experience counts, but only when the brain has developed to the
point of being able to process, encode, and interact with these new
environmental experiences.
This book's aim is to acquaint developmental biologists and
neuroscientists with what has been learned about human
psychological development and to acquaint developmental
psychologists with the biological evidence. The hope is that each
group will gain a richer appreciation of both knowledge corpora.
The authors hope to appeal to neuroscientists, psychologists,
psychiatrists, pediatricians, and their students.
The idea for this book was born in 1993 when the authors--a leading
developmental psychologist and a pediatrician--met for the first
time and recognized the complementarity of their backgrounds and
the utility of a collaboration. The reception of their first two
papers motivated this attempt to synthesize the available
information over a longer developmental era. Learning a great deal
over the past decade, the authors hope that their enthusiasm
provokes an equally intense curiosity in readers.
