`This is a beautifully written account of the most important ways
in which developmental psychologists go about their business,
illustrated with carefully chosen articles which are carefully
described in order to make the designs, methodologies, analysis and
interpretation of the results readily accessible to a non-expert
readership. This will become the preferred textbook for those who
want an up-to-date, interesting and accessible introduction to
developmental psychology research' - Alan Slater, University of
Exeter A wide range of techniques is used to investigate children's
development. This book, which is aimed at advanced undergraduates
and postgraduate students in psychology and related areas, provides
a guide to key theories and methods used by researchers. Carefully
chosen articles are accompanied by a commentary from the author
that, among other things, helps students to understand the
rationale for a study, the choice of design and assessment
measures, use of statistics and the interpretation of results. A
wide range of recent research papers is included to cover
observational and experimental methods from infancy to adolescence.
The research papers are introduced by two chapters that consider
the relationship between theory and methods, explaining how models
of development differ from one another and how they can be tested
through experimental studies.
