Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This is a major work on human infancy written by leading developmental psychologists. At its core is a report of a six-year study of infant daycare, which serves as a basis for a discussion of cognitive and emotional processes in infancy, the effects of early experience on later growth, and the cultural and historical assumptions that influence our views of human development. The book provides an empirical assessment of the effects of group care on the psychological well-being of infants and offers a blueprint for quality daycare that may serve as a model for future nurseries. It also presents rich information about the major growth functions that characterize human infancy and links changes in emotional behavior to the maturation of cognitive processes in a new and provocative way. Additionally, the book offers a controversial thesis about the discontinuity of psychological growth that challenges fundamental assumptions about individual development.
