Inhaltsangabe

In this lively book, Philippe Rochat makes a case for an ecological approach to human development. Looking at the ecological niche infants occupy, he describes how they develop capabilities and conceptual understanding in relation to three interconnected domains: the self, objects, and other people. Drawing on the great body of contemporary "competent infant" research, Rochat offers a thoughtful overview of many current, controversial topics, from neonatal imitation to early numeracy, to the development of self-awareness. In a provocative conclusion, he describes infancy as a series of key transitions - so dramatic that they are sometimes called "revolutions" - and maps out the processes that impel development.

Críticas

"Rochat's delightful book detailing the development of infant social cognition is the first of its kind. In six compact chapters, the author brings the reader into the world of the infant... An excellent resource... highly recommended." - J. F. Heberle, Choice; "This is a well-written, well-argued book, with a novel structure... And what of the world of the infant? It is not the blooming, buzzing confusion of James, but neither is it our narratively structured, past- and future- focused internal experience. It is something we can only guess at, but Rochat guesses better than most." - Dina Lew, The Psychologist"
