Description
This accessible textbook explores how advances in neuroscience and investigation methods are changing our understanding of child development. Packed with images, case studies, reflection points, further reading suggestions, and a glossary of technical terms, it examines key aspects of development such as emotion, memory, learning, perception, and language, as well as neurodevelopmental disorders.
Designed to introduce undergraduate students on social science courses to the science behind the brain, this book looks at how the brain is structured and develops from a tiny cluster of cells into a complex dynamic structure that controls every aspect of our existence.
With its comprehensive coverage and engaging approach, Child Development and the Brain An Introduction provides a solid foundation for understanding the intricate relationships between brain function and child development.
