Interest in cognitive development has been resurgent in recent
years as a result of continuing improvements in technology and the
new methods of research these enable. Introducing Cognitive
Development brings a new focus and clarity to this theoretically
complex area. Using numerous illustrations and examples it
describes the specific changes that occur in cognition from infancy
through childhood. The reader is introduced to the topic with a
review of traditional approaches to the study of cognitive
development and a consideration of recent advances in the field,
particularly in cognitive science. Key issues, including the
relative contributions of nature and nurture, domain generality
versus domain specificity and the child's own role in his/her
development, are considered in relation to a range of topics such
as: the development of representational abilities; theory of mind
and social cognition; and development of language. This book
provides an accessible introduction to cognitive development
suitable for undergraduate students in psychology and related
disciplines, as well as anyone involved in working with children.
