Rezensionen

"This is one of the best books I have read in this field for a long time." - Julian Elliott, University of Sunderland, UK


"I think that this is an excellent book. It covers a wide range of topics and research and presents them all in a coherent, attractive and highly readable way. It fills a need for an easy-to-read but intellectually respectable account of cognitive development." - Peter Bryant FRS, Visiting Professor at Oxford Brookes University, UK


"The author's enthusiasm and drive to understand cognitive development results in a work which seeks to relate and integrate research in the (sometimes) disparate research areas within the field. Her approach offers the student an insight into the relationships between the different issues and themes and, as such, makes a valuable contribution to the academic bookshelf. Throughout the book, new ideas have been seamlessly included alongside material from the original edition." - Steve Croker, University of Derby, UK
