Abstract	The book is structured into four sections. Section I provides [the reader] with an introduction to developmental psychology, exploring what it is, what some of the key perspectives on development are, what developmental psychologists do, why they do it, and how. This section includes a chapter about some of the key theoretical models and perspectives which have had the greatest influences an developmental psychology [...] This chapter of the book also contains a chapter on research methods. [...] Whilst research methods are often taught within psychology degree programmes as self-contained courses or modules, they cannot be fully understood outside of the context of the different areas of psychology that you study. Within this book research methods are discussed as part of the study of developmental psychology, through an introductory chapter and then as a boxed feature in subsequent chapters throughout the rest of the book. Section II addresses cognitive and linguistic development, exploring the earliest stages of prenatal development and infancy, the development of language, memory and intelligence, mathematical thinking and theory of mind. [...] Section III explores social and emotional development, covering attachment, temperament, the concept of self and gender identity, social interactions and adolescence. This section will therefore enable [...] to learn about children as social and emotional beings across a range of areas of development. Within Section IV [...] a number of guest authors [...] contribute chapters on applied areas of development. [...] These chapters cover education, bullying, atypical development and ADHD. (Orig.).
