| Summary: | Few areas of research have yielded more exciting results in recent years than studies on infant and childhood congnition. Reflecting great strides undertaken in this important field, the new edition of The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Childhood Cognitive Development presents a thorough and authoritative overview of the latest research on various areas of a child's cognitive development, including the newest data from cognitive neuroscience. Top scholars in their respective fields have either updated contributions from the first edition by incorporating their latest findings and developments or, in several instances, provided entirely new chapters. Important issues such as categorization, memory, and reasoning are revisited, along with all-new entries on social cognitive development and language. Other topics addressed include moral and symbolic development, pretend play, spatial development, and the historical and contemporary theoretical perspectives that inform cognitive development. The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Childhood Cognitive Development, Second Edition, is an invaluable resource on the latest research and theories that shape our understanding of the crucial cognitive development of a child, from infancy to the onset of adolescence.--Book Jacket. |
