This influential festschrift honours the legacy of Annette
Karmiloff-Smith, a seminal thinker in the field of child
development and a pioneer in developmental cognitive neuroscience.
The current volume brings together many of the researchers,
collaborators and students who worked with Professor
Karmiloff-Smith to show how her ideas have influenced and continue
to influence their own research. Over four parts, each covering a
different phase or domain of Karmiloff-Smith's research career,
leading developmental psychologists in cognition, neuroscience and
computer science reflect on her extensive contribution, from her
early work with Piaget in Geneva to her innovative research project
investigating children with Down syndrome to understand the
mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease. The chapters provide a mix of
cutting-edge science and reminiscence, providing a fascinating
insight into the historical contexts in which many of Annette's
theoretical insights arose, including such ideas as the
microgenetic approach, representational redescription and
neuroconstructivism. The chapters also provide updates about how
earlier theoretical ideas have stood the test of time, and present
unpublished data from the early years of Annette's career. Taking
Development Seriously is essential reading for students and
scholars in child development and developmental neuroscience.
