Description
The latest on child psychology and the role of cultural and developmental systems

Now in its 38th volume, Minnesota Symposia on Child Psychology: Culture and Developmental Systems contains the collected papers from the most prestigious symposia in the field of child development. Providing scholars, students, and practitioners with access to the work of leading researchers in human development, it outlines how the field has advanced dramatically in recent years—both empirically and conceptually.

The updated collection outlines the latest information and research on child psychology, including the cultural neuroscience of the developing brain in childhood, the role of culture and language in the development of color categorization, socioemotional development across cultures, and much more.

  • Explore the development of culture, language, and emotion
  • Discover cultural expressions and the neurobiological underpinnings in mother-infant interactions

Features
  • Collects the work of top tier scientists in developmental psychology and presents their newest work for peer emulation and implementation.
  • Describesthe radical change in our understanding of information processing, which we now view as distributed input over units that act like neurons and are organized into layers, fields, and networks which are thought to develop and to interact.  This has great implications for human development.
