Development in Infancy reflects many new discoveries that have
transformed our understanding of infants and their place in human
development, with an emphasis on 21st century research. Organized
topically, the book covers physical, perceptual, cognitive,
language, and social development, in addition to describing
theories of development, contexts of development, research methods,
and implications of research in infancy for social policies and
interventions. Key issues in infancy studies—those having to do
with how nature and nurture transact and with interrelations among
diverse domains of development—are woven throughout the book. The
text also emphasizes infancy as a unique stage of the life cycle.
The new edition features new orienting questions at the beginning
of each section, key point summaries at the end of each section,
definitions of boldfaced terms in the margins, and invitations to
engage in retrieval practice at the end of each chapter. Each
chapter also features Set for Life? text boxes that explore events
and developments in infancy that reverberate in later development.
This edition also features a new full-color design and over 100
figures, tables, and photos. The text is written in a clear and
engaging style and is approachable for students with varying
academic backgrounds and experiences. Development in Infancy is the
authoritative text for undergraduate and graduate courses on infant
development or early child development taught in departments of
psychology, child development, education, nursing, and social work.
The text is supported by Support Material that features a robust
set of instructor and student resources.

Infancy: The Basics offers an introduction to the developmental
science behind the fascinating world of infant development. This
book takes the reader from before birth through the moment infants
come into the world seemingly unable to do much but eat, eliminate,
and sleep, and across the few short, incredible years, to when
infants are walking, talking, thinking humans with clear
preferences, wishes, and dreams, having already forged strong
long-lasting relationships. Dispelling common myths and
misconceptions about how infants' perception, cognition, language,
and personalities develop, this accessible evidence-based book
takes a novel whole-child approach and provides insight into the
joint roles of nature (biology) and nurture (experiences) in infant
development, how to care for babies to give them the best start in
life, and what it means for infants to become thinking
communicating social partners. Topics in this book are covered with
an eye firmly fixed on how infants' first years set the stage for
the rest of their lives. By helping us understand infants, experts
Marc H. Bornstein and Martha E. Arterberry give us the opportunity
to learn about the resiliency of our species and the many different
contexts in which families rear infants. They cover key topics,
including how babies are studied scientifically, prenatal
development and the newborn period, how infants explore and
understand the world around them, how infants begin to communicate,
how infants develop an emotional life, personality, and
temperament, how infants build relationships, and how parents
succeed in bringing up babies in challenging circumstances. This
concise clear guide to the years from before birth to 3 is for
students of developmental psychology, pediatric medicine and
nursing, education, and social work. It also for all parents and
professionals caring for infants, who want to understand the secret
world of infancy.

This Element addresses the factors that influence children's
accuracy in reporting on events and draws implications for
children's ability to serve as reliable eyewitnesses. The following
topics are covered: short- and long-term memory for event details;
memory for stressful events; memory for the temporal order of
events; memory for the spatial location of events; the ways poorly
worded questions or intervening events interfere with memory; and
individual differences in language development, understanding right
from wrong and emotions, and cognitive processes. In addition, this
Element considers how potential jurors perceive children as
eyewitnesses and how the findings of the research on children's
event memory inform best practices for interviewing children.
