Infant DevelopmentUtgave 1

Originally published in 1989, Infant Development provided detailed, up-to-date and authoritative accounts of major areas of infant development at the time. The book is subdivided into three sections: Perceptual Development; Cognitive Development; Social Interaction, Early Language and Emotion. The chapters are written by researchers who were internationally recognised authorities on the areas in which they contribute. While written by different contributors the book is a well-integrated account of current developments in our understanding of infant development.

Infant Development presupposes no detailed knowledge of infancy on the part of the reader, but at the same time the reader is guided to an understanding of the topical and lively controversies that represent the current state of the art which make the field of infant development such an interesting area of study. Today it can be read in its historical context.
