Summary note

"The third edition of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience presents a thorough updating and enhancement of the classic text that introduced the rapidly expanding field of developmental cognitive neuroscience. Includes the addition of two new chapters that provide further introductory material on new methodologies and the application of genetic methods in cognitive development. Includes several key discussion points at the end of each chapter. Features a greater focus on mid-childhood and adolescence, to complement the previous edition's emphasis on early childhood. Brings the science closer to real-world applications via a greater focus on fieldwork. Includes a greater emphasis on structural and functional brain imaging"--Provided by publisher.
