This comprehensive textbook offers an up-to-date overview of theory and research in the dynamic field of child development. Authored by Margaret Harris and George Butterworth, it incorporates recent findings from Britain, Europe, and the USA, making it an essential resource for undergraduate students with little prior knowledge of developmental psychology. Key features include a historical context that traces the evolution of developmental psychology as an independent discipline since the late 19th century and highlights significant changes in our understanding of children's development. The text systematically covers child development from conception through prenatal stages, birth, infancy, and preschool years, to achievements in school and changes during adolescence. Each developmental stage is examined in terms of cognitive, social, and linguistic growth, including insights into reading, spelling, and mathematical skills. Additionally, the book explores comparative research on cognitive abilities in other primates. This volume is not only crucial for undergraduate students of developmental psychology but also valuable for those in education and healthcare fields studying child development.
