Stability and Continuity in Mental Development: Behavioral and Biological Perspectives / Edition 1

by M. H. Bornstein, N. A. Krasnegor

Overview

Filling a gap in current literature on human development, this volume explores the influence of psychophysiological, behavioral, and social factors on stability and continuity in the development of the mind during human infancy. The book reviews existing literature, presents new data, and discusses issues of substance in mental development, methodology, and interpretation. Commentaries by recognized experts interpret the research results from the previous chapters.
