Handbook of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience

"The new edition of Fundamentals of Developmental Neurobiology contains several excellent new chapters, including some particularly good ones about early nervous system development, and one chapter on social development. As a whole, this compendium of articles about cognitive development in humans does an impressive job of drawing on diverse technologies including behavior, anatomy, molecular biology, electrophysiology, and psychophysics, to address the many aspects of cognitive development. Several chapters compliment one another in important ways; for example at least three chapters address the question of language development from very different perspectives. Previously published chapters have been updated to become more current, as this rapidly progressing field has changed a great deal since the last edition."--Marilee Ogren, Department of Biology, Boston College -- Marilee Ogren Balkema "This comprehensive volume provides a much-needed resource in developmental cognitive neuroscience. The second edition of the handbook addresses critical developmental issues across levels from the fundamentals of basic neuroscience to higher-level cognition. It is an authoritative set of up-to-date chapters written by leading scientists in the field. This is essential reading for students and researchers across all levels of expertise."--Debra Mills, Department of Psychology, Emory University -- Debra Mills Praise for the first edition: " The Handbook of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience is a state-of-the-art primer on this rapidly developing branch of neuroscience. You can consider it your one-stop source on developmental cognitive neuroscience. The short, readable chapters by top researchers integrate previous research on topics, highlight key concepts, and outline outstanding issues."
