Publisher Synopsis
"...this book provides a substantial introduction to this new synergy (and as such is well suited as complementary material for advanced courses), it also crucially highlights the necessity of specifying what we mean by cognitive development before we examine the brain in search of it."-Infant and Child Development"The enthusiasm of this eminent collection of authors is evident, and the book makes for a fascinating if challenging read....The editors are to be congratulated on keeping repetition between chapters to a useful minimum and representing such a broad range of work."-Contemporary Psychology Read more...
