This new edition of the highly successful Fundamentals of
Development: The Psychology of Childhood has been thoroughly
revised and updated to reflect the exciting new findings in the
thriving area of developmental psychology.
The book addresses a number of fascinating questions
including:
- Are children born good or bad?
- What do children understand about the mind?
- What roles do nature and nurture play in child
development?
As in the previous edition, the book follows a thematic approach
and outlines the main areas of developmental psychology, including
classic theories and studies, and offers a broad overview of
contemporary research in the field. Each chapter addresses a key
topic such as theory of mind, attachment, and moral development -
and is self-contained and comprehensive in its coverage. New
chapters in this edition include a detailed look at methods in
developmental psychology, an overview of developmental disorders,
and an introduction to the burgeoning area of numerical
development.
The book is student-friendly, with all topics described in
straightforward language, illustrated in full colour, and organized
as standalone chapters. The text will make an excellent companion
to introductory courses on developmental psychology, and for
instructors there are high-quality lecture slides, and a bank of
multiple choice questions. The text is written to be both
accessible and comprehensive, and to provide an engaging overview
for students and professionals who have little or no background in
this area.
