Description
Infants are more sophisticated perceivers and thinkers than we often give them credit for. In this thought-provoking book, Philippe Rochat explores how infants develop capabilities and conceptual understanding in relation to their world. Rochat examines the three interconnected domains that shape an infant's experience: the self, objects, and other people. He draws on recent research to offer a nuanced overview of topics such as imitation, numeracy, and self-awareness. The result is a compelling picture of infancy as a series of key transitions that drive development. This book provides a unifying theoretical vision for the vast body of research in this area, making it an inspiring introduction to modern psychology.
