Description
This book "addresses the issues of lifespan development in a thematic way. Each chapter focuses on an important domain or theme in developmental psychology and within that chapter addresses changes from infancy, through childhood, to adulthood. This book provides students a balanced coverage of Australian and international research contributions within a rigorous and challenging textbook. Comprehensive coverage of leading theoretical and empirical advances in developmental psychology emphasises the importance of psychological theory to developmental aspects of human behaviour. The use of several interactive and applied components such as end of chapter contexts of development, quick think questions and focus boxes encourages students to think more deeply about the topics they are covering." - product description.
