Description: "When this classic introductory text first appeared it gave the emerging field of developmental cognitive neuroscience its name. Now this second edition will continue to be the definitive introduction to the subject. The text reviews the current state of knowledge in the field in the context of an integrative theoretical framework within which the plasticity and maturation of the brain are analyzed. The second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated."--BOOK JACKET
