The development of cognition
Steve Croker's The Development of Cognition is an exciting new text which offers a refreshing contemporary account of the major research findings and theories on the development of children's cognitive development from infancy onwards, whilst also considering their practical implications. Written in a clear and accessible style, enhanced by rich pedagogical features and the identification of key primary sources, the text enables students to carefully examine and critically assess the change processes through which development occurs, together with the nature of the changes in language, perception, memory, conceptualunderstanding and problem-solving.
