Introduction To Infant Development

Infants may seem to do little more than eat, sleep, and play. Yet behind this simplistic facade occurs an awe-inspiring process of development through which infants make sense of, and learn how to interact with the world around them. Written by leading researchers in the field, Introduction to Infant Development, Second Edition, provides insight into the psychological development of infants. This edition includes the latest research with new chapters on perceptual and cognitive development, memory, and examines the role of gender, culture, and social class. The coverage of language and motor development has also been revised. It features enhanced pedagogical elements and an online resource center, making it an ideal teaching and learning tool.
