Child Development
"Child Development: Context, Culture, and Cascades is a new child development text that presents a contemporary understanding of development today. Written by an active researcher, this text is informed by the importance of socio-cultural context, the interconnectedness of developmental domains, and a focus on contemporary research. This textbook adopts the familiar structure of presenting a chronological approach that structures domains of development under periods of development, meaning that periods of development (prenatal, infancy, toddlerhood, early childhood, etc.) fit within domains of development (physical, language, cognitive, social, emotional). An introductory section lays a foundation with theoretical frameworks and discipline-relevant constructs (continuity, stability, sensitive periods). The book provides three thematic features that collectively make it unique to the field and aim to enrich the thinking of students and instructors alike. These are (1) developmental cascades; (2) the socio-cultural contexts of development; and (3) the inclusion of contemporary research in the field"--
Child Psychology
This third edition of Child Psychology continues the tradition of showcasing cutting-edge research in the field of developmental science, including individual differences, dynamic systems and processes, and contexts of development. While retaining a similar structure to the last edition, this revision consists of completely new content with updated programmatic research and contemporary research trends and interests. The first three sections highlight research that is organized chronologically by age: Infancy, Childhood, and Adolescence. Within each section, individual chapters address contemporary research on a specific area of development, such as learning, cognition, social, and emotional...
Developmental Cascades
Developmental Cascades, Volume 64 in the Advances in Child Development and Behavior series, brings together papers that share a focus on cascading influences across domains and developmental time. The contributors are leading experts in the field of developmental science in areas such as perceptual development, language development, motor development, social development, cognitive development, academic achievement, media use, and children at risk for anxiety and depression. The papers highlight theoretical issues around processes that give rise to cascading effects of experiences in infancy, early childhood, and adolescence using a variety of methods and study designs. Together, the papers s...
The Cambridge Handbook of Infant Development
This multidisciplinary volume features many of the world's leading experts of infant development, who synthesize their research on infant learning and behaviour, while integrating perspectives across neuroscience, socio-cultural context, and policy. It offers an unparalleled overview of infant development across foundational areas such as prenatal development, brain development, epigenetics, physical growth, nutrition, cognition, language, attachment, and risk. The chapters present theoretical and empirical depth and rigor across specific domains of development, while highlighting reciprocal connections among brain, behavior, and social-cultural context. The handbook simultaneously educates, enriches, and encourages. It educates through detailed reviews of innovative methods and empirical foundations and enriches by considering the contexts of brain, culture, and policy. This cutting-edge volume establishes an agenda for future research and policy, and highlights research findings and application for advanced students, researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers with interests in understanding and promoting infant development.
Handbook of Father Involvement
This book brings together experts from diverse scientific disciplines who share an interest in the topic of father involvement. Unlike most books in the field, which tend to solely draw from a psychological perspective, this Handbook merges theories and research from the unique fields of psychology, economics, demography sociology, anthropology, and social policy. For the most part, research on fathering is motivated by concern for children's well-being. Social scientists share a core set of questions, including: *"Who are fathers?" *"What is father involvement and how does it affect children and families?" *"What are the determinants of father involvement?" *"How do cultural contexts shape ...

The Development of Social Cognition and Communication
For young children, two of the most important tasks they face are learning how to communicate and learning how to think about themselves and the social world around them. The premise of this book is that these two tasks are inherently linked. The communicative routines and language that children learn enable new modes of cognition, which in turn allow for more complex social interactions. The model of early child development that emerges is one in which equal importance is given to the socio-cultural context in which children are developing, and to the role played by children in actively constructing their own knowledge. The book is organized into four thematic sections, each introduced by a...
Immigrant Children
Over the past several decades, the demographic populations of many countries such as Canada as well as the United States have greatly transformed. Most striking is the influx of recent immigrant families into North America. As children lead the way for a 'new' North America, this group of children and youth is not a singular homogenous group but rather, a mosaic and diverse ethnic, racial, and cultural group. Thus, our current understanding of 'normative development' (covering social, psychological, cognitive, language, academic, and behavioral development), which has been generally based on middle-class Euro-American children, may not necessarily be 'optimal' development for all children. R...
