| Description: |
Is cognition a matter of learning and environment or is it a matter of heredity? What influence do TV and computers have? This work examines the issues in cognitive development to provide an introduction to the development of the mind. |
| Synopsis: |
* How do we get from helpless baby to knowing teenager? * What impact do television, computers, the internet, video games and evolving technology have on the way children's minds develop? * Is cognition a question of learning and environment or of heredity? How we learn to think, perceive, remember, talk, reason and learn is a central topic in psychology - and one that sees constant new research. In this very readable book, David Cohen discusses the latest studies and covers all the controversies that have dogged the subject for nearly 150 years. He examines the work of the 'greats' like Piaget, Freud and Vygotsky and shows how the issues that have intrigued psychologists relate to any child growing up today. This book is for everyone who lives with, works with or studies children. David Cohen examines the fundamental issues of how children learn to read and write, of how their intellectual abilities are measured and the development of their morality. He examines child crime and looks at how modern media affect the way the child's mind develops.This fully updated edition of How the Child's Mind Develops is an integrated and thought-provoking account of the central issues in child development. Parents, professionals and students will find it an invaluable introduction. |
