Description
Infancy: A survey of recent research reveals that infants possess sophisticated perceptual skills from birth. They can sense touch and motion, discriminate tastes and smells, recognize their mother's voice, and imitate facial expressions.
The newborn is an active learner, looking, reaching, sucking, and grimacing in its first moments. This book provides a readable account of our current knowledge about infant development, covering the emergence of sensorimotor and cognitive skills that play a crucial role in social and emotional development after birth.
Field also reviews the literature on infants in nursery and daycare programs, highlighting studies that show an enhancement of social interaction in good care settings. The book concludes with possible intervention strategies for infants at risk due to disease or other factors.
