"Nowadays, it is widely accepted that there is no single influence (be it nature or nurture) on cognitive development. Cognitive abilities emerge as a result of interactions between gene expression, cortical and subcortical brain networks, and environmental influences. In recent years, our study of neurodevelopmental disorders has provided much valuable information on how genes, brain development, behaviour, and environment interact to i ..."
"The study of developmental disorders is an enormous and intrinsically multi-disciplinary field of research. The articles in this five-volume collection cover the myriad genetic and non-genetic developmental psychopathological conditions which are now known and being researched from a variety of perspectives, from dyslexia to autism and beyond. Covering a broad range of considerations around the topic, the papers in this major work seek ..."
"When A Functional Approach to Child Language first appeared in hardback in 1979, it was quickly recognized as a research report of the first rank and a timely, critical exposition of Piaget's views on language and thought. Whilst accepting the fundamental importance of Piaget's epistemology, the author argues that language acquisition will only be adequately explained if such an epistemology is explicitly focused on children's construct ..."
"Babies arrive in the world already equipped with many skills, reflexes and instincts that help them adapt to and influence their environment as well as the people who fill it. The mother-and-daughter team of Kyra Karmiloff, a research psychologist, and Dr Annette Karmiloff-Smith, a professorial research fellow at the Developmental Neurocognition Lab at Birkbeck College, University of London, 'translate' the latest scientific findin ..."

" A delightful and informative reference. One of the most daunting adjustments for new parents is understanding their baby's mind. This is especially true when trying to determine the source of their infant's discomfort. Far from being helpless or passive, babies display extraordinary skills and capabilities that largely go unnoticed simply because adults don't know what to look for. Babies communicate in many ways including conv ..."
"Taking a stand midway between Piaget's constructivism and Fodor's nativism, Annette Karmiloff-Smith offers an exciting new theory of developmental change that embraces both approaches. She shows how each can enrich the other and how both are necessary to a fundamental theory of human cognition.Karmiloff-Smith shifts the focus from what cognitive science can ..."
"Our journey to language begins before birth, as babies in the womb hear clearly enough to distinguish their mother's voice. Canvassing a broad span of experimental and theoretical approaches, this book introduces new ways of looking at language development. A remarkable mother-daughter collaboration, Pathways to Language balances the respected views of a well-known scholar with the fresh perspective of a younger colleague prepared to c ..."

" Dieser Titel ist in englischer Sprache. Rethinking Innateness stellt die folgende Frage: "Was bedeutet es wirklich zu sagen, daß ein Verhalten angeboren ist?" In ihrem Buch beschreiben die Autoren ein neues Modell, in dem Interaktionen auf allen Ebenen neue Formen und Verhaltensweisen hervorrufen. Obwohl die Ergebnisse in vielen Fällen von den verschiedensten Faktoren determiniert werden, sind sie hinsichtlich ihres Wertebereichs nicht ..."
"Using the high production values and approach of a natural history series, this book captures the experience of a child as it transforms from a helpless newborn into a walking, talking, thinking human being. Using the latest scientific research, which challenges our understanding of how and when children acquire all the skills they need, and illustrated with colour photographs, the book is based on the Channel 4 series."

"Nuestra andadura hacia el lenguaje comienza antes del nacimiento, cuando el feto, en el útero, oye con la suficiente claridad como para poder distinguir la voz de su madre. Técnicas actuales de investigación han permitido demostrar los procesos de aprendizaje del lenguaje en múltiples niveles. Sabemos ahora que, mucho antes de que niñas y niños produzcan sus primeros vocablos, han estado procesando activamente los sonidos, los ritmos, ..."
"Cute-as-a-button baby faces in a range of familiar expressions peer out of each spread, while gently rhyming rhythms provide a charming story for families to share. A peek-a-boo mirror at the end of the book brings baby into the story too."
"Rethinking Innateness asks the question, "What does it really mean to say that a behavior is innate?" The authors describe a new framework in which interactions, occurring at all levels, give rise to emergent forms and behaviors. These outcomes often may be highly constrained and universal, yet are not themselves directly contained in the genes in any domain-specific way. One of the key contributions of Rethinking Innateness is a taxon ..."
