Topically-arranged and teacher-focused, Child and<br />
Adolescent Development for Educators is a richly contextual<br />
research-based foundation in the science <strong>of</strong> development that<br />
is ideal for future teachers. Attending to the development <strong>of</strong><br />
school-aged children and youth, the brevity <strong>of</strong> the text and<br />
the diversity <strong>of</strong> in-text activities give teacher educators ample<br />
opportunity to assign observations and other school-based<br />
projects.<br />

play as they relate to physical development and implications for<br />

material on exceptional children and atypical development has<br />
been integrated throughout the text, rather than being relegated<br />
to a separate chapter.<br />

more: Over 500 new references in this edition introduce students<br />

innovative pedagogical learning system, and the balance<br />
between research and real-life applications that have made<br />
A Child’s World a favorite <strong>of</strong> students and pr<strong>of</strong>essors alike.<br />

their hallmark, Diane Papalia and Ruth Feldman continue<br />
to provide a chronological view <strong>of</strong> child development; the<br />
new edition expands the coverage <strong>of</strong> cultural and historical<br />
influences on development, highlights the latest research in<br />
cognitive neuroscience and evolutionary theory, and features<br />
a new and improved Visual Assets Database for instructors.<br />
NEW TO THIS EDITION<br />
• An enhanced emphasis on evolutionary theory as it affects<br />
the study <strong>of</strong> child development. Beginning with expanded<br />
introductory material in Chapter 2, many other chapters discuss<br />
evolutionary interpretations <strong>of</strong> topics ranging from maternal<br />
nutrition (Chapter 4) and early sensory abilities (Chapter 6) to<br />
language (Chapter 7) and gender (Chapters 11 and 14).<br />
• New integration <strong>of</strong> cognitive neuroscience. The 11th edition<br />
includes sections on brain development in middle childhood,<br />
adolescence, and in the fetus and infant. In addition, many<br />
studies throughout the text shed light on the role <strong>of</strong> the brain in<br />
cognition and emotions.<br />
