Full Description
Infants may seem to do little more than eat, sleep, and play. Yet behind this misleadingly simplistic façade occurs an awe-inspiring process of development through which infants make sense of, and learn how to interact with, the world around them.
Introduction to Infant Development 2/e offers a fascinating insight into the psychological development of infants, presented by some of the world's leading authorities on the subject. This new edition captures the latest developments in the field, with new chapters on perceptual and cognitive development, memory development, and gender, culture, and social class.
