Description
This book addresses central concerns in current infancy research. It offers a new approach to those aspects of developmental psychology and cognitive science that are relevant and necessary for explaining the foundations of the mind. The book addresses the key question of how psychologists can best conceptualize the abilities of young infants. Rutkowska develops a synthesis of developmental psychology and cognitive science that focuses on areas of mutual concern such as vision, information, adaptive behaviour, object understanding, intention and systems of representation, providing a route to evaluating the psychological relevance of alternative styles of computational explanation.
