Assuming little or no prior knowledge of the subject, Infancy presents a complete picture of our current understanding of the development of infants, their knowledge and understanding of the world from birth or before to their second birthday.
In dealing in turn with motor development, the development of perception and cognition, and social development, the book follows a conventional pattern.
The author points to the ways in which the distinctions between perceptual, cognitive and social development are to an extent arbitrary and how they stand in the way of evolving an adequate account of infancy.
This new edition has been considerably expanded and contains discussion of over 260 further studies.
