Subject Index.
"For more than 25 years, this series of edited volumes has provided
important landmarks in the advancement of psychological knowledge
about children. The periodic summaries of specialty areas in child
development have charted two kinds of progress: (a) advances in
psychological theories and methods used to study children and (b)
advances in understanding children's developing competencies. These
two volumes continue the fine tradition of surveying across the
spectrum of developmental psychology and drawing charts of both
kinds of progress... Developmental psychologists will find the
variety of chapters informative and summative, ideal sources of
ideas to stimulate new studies and to update teaching materials.
Psychologists and scientists with allied interests may be
overwhelmed at times with the numerous empirical citations, but
nearly all authors have provided excellent summaries and
conclusions interspersed throughout each chapter. The result is a
collection of eight thought-provoking yet independent chapters in
each volume that point to fruitful directions for new research."
--CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOLOGY
"This book is useful, not only for scholars already interested in
the specific topics reviewed, but for anyone open to the scientific
process...where speculation meets data, where questions confront
assumptions, and where fresh discoveries begin." --CHILD
DEVELOPMENT ABSTRACTS AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
