Description
The third edition of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience presents a thorough updating and enhancement of the classic text that introduced the rapidly expanding field of developmental cognitive neuroscience.
* Includes the addition of two new chapters that provide further introductory material on new methodologies and the application of genetic methods in cognitive development
* Includes several key discussion points at the end of each chapter
* Features a greater focus on mid-childhood and adolescence, to complement the previous edition's emphasis on early childhood
* Brings the science closer to real-world applications via a greater focus on fieldwork
* Includes a greater emphasis on structural and functional brain imaging
