Developmental Psychology: The Growth of Mind and Behavior  / by Frank Keil
YALE UNIVERSITY

Developmental psychology has emerged robustly in the past few decades as a full-fledged science in which scholars propose theories and models and then test them rigorously. This book celebrates the ways in which ideas, many of which have been with us for centuries, are now being tested in carefully designed experiments or through powerful new statistical analyses of large data sets.

It is fascinating to see how classic issues are now coming into much clearer focus as a result of clever new studies. Throughout this text, authors will encounter theories, sometimes conflicting theories, and ask how they can be tested and what the current evidence tells us. In many cases, the debate continues with more than one view remaining viable, but also with a much better understanding of the research path forward.
