What do infants know? What do they feel, and how do they come to
understand what's happening around them? How do they begin to
construe others as persons with feelings and intentions? These
questions inspire this remarkable new look at the infant's world.
The short answer? Infants are much more sophisticated perceivers,
feelers, and thinkers of their world than we may think.
In this lively book, Philippe Rochat makes a case for an
ecological approach to human development. Looking at the ecological
niche infants occupy, he describes how infants develop capabilities
and conceptual understanding in relation to three interconnected
domains: the self, objects, and other people. Drawing on the great
body of contemporary "competent infant" research, Rochat offers a
thoughtful overview of many current, controversial topics, from
neonatal imitation to early numeracy, to the development of
self-awareness. In a provocative conclusion, he describes infancy
as a series of key transitions--so dramatic that they are sometimes
called "revolutions"--and maps out the processes that impel
development.
Offering a unifying theoretical vision of the vast research of
recent years, "The Infant's World" is an inspiring introduction to
the liveliest area of modern psychology.
