Samenvatting:

Consistent with the direction the field of developmental psychology is heading towards, this text focuses on individual differences and cultural variation. The second edition explains that individual differences in cognition can be most profitably understood by a consideration of developmental function. The text offers several new chapters, including coverage of social cognition, biology, culture and cognition, and emerging theories. Rather than taking a selective approach, the author extensively summarizes theory and research, offering breadth of coverage and an empirical perspective.
