Description
Perceptual and Cognitive Development illustrates how the developmental approach yields fundamental contributions to our
understanding of perception and cognition as a whole. The book discusses how to relate developmental, comparative, and neurological considerations
to early learning and development, and it presents fundamental problems in cognition and language, such as the acquisition of a coherent,
organized, and shared understanding of concepts and language. Discussions of learning, memory, attention, and problem solving are embedded
within specific accounts of the neurological status of developing minds and the nature of knowledge.
Audience:
Advanced students, academics, researchers in cognition, education, perception, and decision-making.
