* Provides much-needed perspective on parenting in low- and
middle-income countries, where the majority of parenting research
still focuses on WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich,
democratic) countries. * Compares data about four specific domains
of parenting (Caregiving, Discipline, Environment and Public
Health) in relation to development in children 1-5 years of age in
more than 50 countries, advancing knowledge of both parenting and
child development in diverse LMIC contexts. * The book is timely
and particularly needed as researchers and practitioners
increasingly emphasize the importance of understanding how
parenting and child development are influenced by cultural contexts

What exactly does it mean to be intelligent? Does intelligence
manifest itself in one way or in different ways in children? Do
children fit any preconceived notions of intelligence? Some
theories assert a general (g) factor for intelligence that is
universal and enters all mental abilities; other theories state
that there are many separate domains or faculties (Fs) of
intelligence; and still others argue that the g and Fs of
intelligence coexist in a hierarchical relation. The Architecture
of the Child Mind: g, Fs, and the Hierarchical Model of
Intelligence argues for the third option in young children. Through
state-of-the-art methodologies in an intensive research program
conducted with 4-year-old children, Bornstein and Putnick show that
the structure of intelligence in the preschool child is best
construed as a hierarchically organized combination of a General
Intelligence factor (g) and multiple domain-specific faculties
(Fs). The Architecture of the Child Mind offers a review of the
history of intelligence theories and testing, and a comprehensive
and original research effort on the nature and structure of
intelligence in young children before they enter school. Its focus
on intelligence will appeal to cognitive, developmental, and social
psychologists as well as researchers and scholars in education,
particularly those specializing in early childhood education.
