An Introduction to Developmental Psychology, 3rd Edition, offers an account of human development from conception through adolescence. The textbook organizes theories, empirical findings, and critical issues through both chronological and thematic frameworks.
Coverage addresses major stages of development, including prenatal growth, infant perception, attachment relationships, and cognitive milestones. The text also examines communicative progress, childhood play, moral development, and practical challenges in educational and social contexts.
Written by an international team of researchers, the volume is designed for readers with little or no prior background in developmental psychology. Chapter overviews, discussion questions, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary support reader comprehension throughout the text.
