Inhaltsangabe

Executive Function in Childhood: Development, Individual Differences, and Real-Life Importance examines executive function during infancy and early childhood through the lenses of developmental psychology, neuropsychology, and educational psychology. Co-authored by three experts in the field, this concise book is aimed at early undergraduate students and, as well as providing an up-to-date overview of executive function, illustrates a range of core concepts around psychological assessment of infants and children, including neuroimaging. The text is accessible for students with limited prior knowledge, and will enable them to acquire more in-depth understanding from literature in the field.
