Gandelman – författare

Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of developmental psychobiology, this textbook explores both the psychological and biological influences on the development of behaviour, using research on both animal and human subjects to support principles and hypotheses. The arrangement of the book is topical rather than chronological, and it covers embryonic behaviour, the influence of hormones, threats to development, postnatal maternal influences, and early stimulation. Play, learning and memory, and finally weaning and puberty complete this volume. This comprehensive work provides a history of this subdiscipline, from the earliest work of Wilhelm Preyer in 1885 to the most recent research on the psychobiology of development.
