Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience: An Introduction (Fundamentals of Cognitive Neuroscience)

Book Description:

This is the long-awaited second edition of the classic introduction that gave the field of developmental cognitive neuroscience its name. This book continues to be the definitive introduction to the subject, reviewing the current state of knowledge in the field in the context of an integrative theoretical framework within which the plasticity and maturation of the brain are analyzed. The second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. Changes include a new chapter on objects and number; an updated chapter on "building a brain," to cover activity-dependent neural development, changes in adolescence, and more; a new emphasis on different developmental disorders; a completely revised chapter on the emerging social brain, to place more emphasis on aspects of social cognition other than basic face processing; and an extensively revised chapter on integrating developmental cognitive neuroscience, to focus on a new framework for understanding human functional brain development - "interactive specialization."
