Language, cognition, and memory are traditionally studied together prior to a researcher specializing in any one area. They are studied together initially because much of the development of one can affect the development of the others. Most books available noweither tend to be extremely broad in the areas of all infant development including physical and social development, orspecialize in cognitive development, language acquisition, or memory. Rarely do you find all threetogether, despite the fact that they all relate to each other. This volume consists of focused articles from the authoritative "Encyclopedia of Infant and Early Childood Development," and specifically targetstheages 0-3.

Infancy is a unique period, in that at no other state is there greater growth and development. During this time, growth is occurring at a physical level, but equally impressive are the socio-emotional and cognitive developments during this time. Genetics, the womb environment, and the physical environment after birth all combine to impact the rate and manner of growth. Who we ultimately become as individuals begins here.
