Rezensionen

'A comprehensive synthesis of classic theory and cutting-edge research, Visual and Motor Cognition in Infants and Children: What Develops and What Stays the Same is a one-stop shop for novice and expert researchers alike. Lange-Küttner's clear and thorough descriptions are a boon to the field'.

Professor Stuart Marcovitch, UNC Greensboro, North Carolina, USA

'The book Visual and Motor Cognition in Infants and Children: What Develops and What Stays the Same ties together the development of visual, motor, and spatial cognition in the child: a very much needed endeavour, in the perspective of a unified science of cognitive development'.

Professor Sergio Morra, Università di Genova, Italy
