Description: "Psychological Development and Early Childhood is a broad and accessible introduction to theory and research, presenting integrated, research-based accounts of development in key areas of early childhood, such as perceptual abilities, early relationships, individuality and object knowledge. A focus on modern developmental theories is complemented by detailed consideration of models of developmental processes. A theme that runs through the book is a concern with the ways in which biological, social and cultural influences interact in development."--Jacket.
