Here is a major new work on human infancy written by one of the
country's leading developmental psychologists and two distinguished
colleagues. At its core is the long-awaited report of the authors'
six-year study of infant day care. Important in its own right, this
experiment becomes the occasion for a wide-ranging discussion of
cognitive and emotional processes in infancy, of the effects of
early experience on later growth, and of the deep-seated cultural
and historical assumptions that underlie our views of human
development. For those concerned with social policy, the book
provides the best empirical assessment now available of the effects
of group care on the psychological well-being of infants. It also
supplies a blueprint for quality daycare that may well stand as a
model for future nurseries. For those interested in the course of
cognitive and emotional development, the book provides rich
information about the major growth functions that characterize
human infancy. It also outlines an explanation of these growth
functions that links changes in emotional behavior to the
maturation of underlying cognitive processes in a new and
provocative way. And for everyone interested in human nature, the
book of offers a controversial thesis about the discontinuity of
psychological growth that challenges some of our most fundamental
assumptions about the nature of individual development. For this
paperback edition, the statistical summary has been removed from
the appendix to shorten the work and make it even more appealing to
the general reader.
