Product Description
Review
"It is an accessible and comprehensive introduction for students and professionals who have no background knowledge of the subject." – Mary Mountstephen in SEN Magazine (issue 43)
"One of the great strengths of the book is that it describes the empirical evidence on the issues clearly and intelligently. The book sets a wonderful example to people just beginning to learn about Developmental Psychology in how to think about the evidence, and also establishes the absolute importance of empirical data for the subject." - Peter Bryant FRS, Department of Psychology, Oxford Brookes University, UK
"Mitchell and Ziegler provide an engaging and accessible introduction to social, emotional, and cognitive development during childhood; they raise and evaluate key questions in child psychology creating a valuable reference for students, educators, and anyone who works with children. This is an excellent introductory textbook which will inspire readers to investigate these topics further." - Dr Jane S Herbert, University of Sheffield, UK
Product Description
Fundamentals of Development: The Psychology of Childhood outlines the main areas of developmental psychology, following a thematic approach and offering a broad overview of contemporary interest in the subject. Straightforward language and ample illustrations introduce the reader to the key areas in child development. The material is carefully organized to be as student-friendly as possible. Each chapter addresses a topic, such as perception, verbal communication, and theory of mind. Therefore, chapters are self-contained and comprehensive in their coverage of each aspect of development.
This replacement for the highly successful Psychology of Childhood has been thoroughly revised with additional material based on articles appearing in the best academic journals, and covers the major studies which have stood the test of time. The book makes an excellent companion for courses introducing developmental psychology, and serves as an accessible yet comprehensive introduction for students and professionals who may have no background knowledge of the subject.
This textbook is accompanied by a CD-ROM of instructor resources which is free of charge to university departments that adopt this book as their text. It includes chapter-by-chapter lecture slides, an interactive chapter-by-chapter multiple-choice question test bank, and multiple-choice questions in paper and pen format.
