This is a thoroughly revised edition of the classic introductory text that christened the rapidly expanding field of developmental cognitive neuroscience. Changes include: a four-colour plate section of brain scans and images; a new chapter on objects and number; updates to the chapter on building a brain, to cover activity-dependent neural development, changes in adolescence, and more; new emphasis on developmental disorders; extensive revisions to the chapter on integrating developmental cognitive neuroscience to focus on a new framework for understanding human functional brain development – ‘interactive specialization’; pointers to further reading are provided throughout the text This book is also supported by an accompanying website featuring password protected exam questions, downloadable figures and tables and links to related books and information sites - including Mark Johnson's lab website.

This volume is a unique and critical resource for researchers in communication disorders, developmental and cognitive psychology, human development, neuroscience, and educational and counseling psychology.
In this book, the authors present evidence that this domain-specific specialization in cognitive function emerges early in development and is reflected in patterns of breakdown that occur under genetic defect.
This volume describes research and theory concerning the cognitive neuroscience of attention.
