Cognition In Children by Usha Goswami

Cognition In Children by Usha Goswami

This textbook aims to provide a selective, but representative, review of work in cognitive development, grouped around themes that are familiar from textbooks of adult cognition.

'This is an excellent bookThere have really been no adequate treatments of cognition in children, certainly none that I would consider using to aid my own teaching. This bool should deservedly fill this suprising gap in the market. The book is well written, almost invariably clear, well researched and even enjoyable. I whole hartedly endorse it and can easily imagine it becoming the standard text on many first year cognitive development courses.' - James Blair, University College London

'This is a textbook for beginning students written with a clear and pedagogical style, with a good selection of recent studies in the field and one of the first to incorporate as a guiding framework the dichotomy, not only between nativist and empiricist accounts of cognitive development, but also between domain-general and domain-specific views. A useful tool for teaching cognitive development.' - Review in anuario de psicologia 30 (30) 1999

'I found Cognition in Children enjoyable and thought-provoking. It covers a large amount of material in an exceptionally clear way.' - Adina R. Lew, University of Wales
