9780745006642: Causes of Development: Interdisciplinary Perspectives (Developing Body & Mind S.)

Sinopsis

The question of what causes development is difficult for scientists. Are various theories of development merely descriptive or do they actually explain what causes development to occur? Causal processes have been suggested at the genetic, the embryological, the evolutionary and the social and cultural levels, but there has been little attempt to discover any common principles among the differing types of developmental explanations. In this book, 12 authors who work in the development field within their different disciplines offer their explanations of the factors which bring about development. Areas covered include cognitive developmental psychology, developmental biology, ethology, embryology, social psychology and computer science.
