Beginning with infancy, Usha Goswami considers the process of attachment and 'bonding', showing how secure attachments enable the development of self-understanding. Exploring childhood learning, ranging from aspects of language and thinking to cognitive reasoning, Goswami looks at how babies and toddlers develop an understanding of the physical, biological, and social worlds, and develop complex abilities like language and morality. Demonstrating how learning is shaped by the environments surrounding the child; at home, school, with peers, and in wider society, Goswami emphasizes the importance of childhood friendships and siblings for psychological development. Introducing the key theories in child psychology, Goswami explains why children develop as they do and how society can further optimize their development through the adolescent years.

It goes beyond Piaget and traditional theories, presenting a groundbreaking theoretical framework for understanding cognitive development through the lens of learning and emerging brain science.   Building on the framework for teaching cognitive development, the authors show how different cognitive domains, such as language, causal reasoning, and theory of mind, may emerge from automatic neural perceptual processes. This third edition introduces significant updates to reflect the latest research and broaden the scope of the text. Three new chapters have been added, providing an overview of theories explaining cognitive development, the methods used to study development, and a final chapter offering reflections that tie together the themes of the textbook. Expanded content throughout includes a new section on sample diversity, emphasising the importance of studying non-WEIRD populations, as well as a dedicated section on the teenage brain. Additionally, recent neuroimaging studies have been incorporated to provide cutting-edge insights into brain function and development.   This comprehensive textbook is essential for higher-level undergraduate students studying developmental and cognitive psychology, education, language, and the learning sciences. It is also a valuable resource for professionals and trainees working with children, offering a deeper understanding of cognitive development and its implications for learning and teaching.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57555365396853,"sku":"9781032763163","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":57682614419829,"sku":"9781032763187","price":171.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781032763163.jpg?v=1792511541"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-usha-goswami.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
