Review
— Professor Bruce Hood, University of Bristol, UK
‘The way in which genes and environment shape brain networks underlying human behavior is now among the most active issues in science. This new edition of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience provides a comprehensive approach to theory, data and application to this issue and others within the perspectives of Cognitive and Social Neuroscience.’
—Michael I. Posner, Professor Emeritus, University of Oregon, US
‘This book, which launched the field of developmental cognitive neuroscience 13 years ago, shows no sign of aging. This up–to–date and newly revised volume eloquently captures the key domains of the discipline and will prove essential reading to both students and established scientists alike. Well–written and well–researched, this revised edition will serve as both a resource and inspiration for anyone interested in the intersection of brain and cognitive development.’
—Professor Charles A. Nelson III, Harvard University Medical School and Children’s Hospital Boston, US

In Chapter one, under the heading An Outline of this book, he talks about the 'next chapter'. One might reasonably assume a brief overview of each chapter, but this is not forthcoming. From 'the next chapter', he skips to Chapter 9 and leaves it at that.
In Chapter 6, he details three approaches, the final one of which is 'a number of neural correlates'. Turn the page and what do we see? Not a detailed examination of these approaches in the right order, but another set of approaches apparently specific to neural correlates, the last approach of the previous page. At no point does he continue with the stages detailed in his overview.
I'm afraid the whole thing is just too muddled, and I'm surprised the editor did not point this out to him.
Vision is given an entire chapter because of its importance to the organism. Also, the visual structures of the eyes are usefully understood as a direct pipeline into the brain, or, equivalently, as a simple extension of the brain. Higher level processing is described in the case of social interactions and speech processing.
No mention of mirror neurons. Perhaps these are not seen as significant for the infant's development?
