Cognitive Development

by John Flavell

Explores the psychology of children with updated, revised and expanded coverage of the field. Providing you with the latest research findings and opinions of distinguished authorities, it covers four history, theory and methods; infancy and developmental psychobiology; cognitive development; and socialization, personality and social development. Included are integrative summaries, new perspectives and insights, critical analyses and explications of deficiencies in existing data and theoretical orientations. Going beyond merely a simple encyclopedic review of accumulated knowledge--the author offers a source book that encourages sophisticated thinking about fundamental issues, the formulation of questions and hypotheses and, in the long run, more good research.

A good introductory text. I referred to this when I was called as a Sunday School teacher to 10, 5, 6, 7, and 8-year olds (in that order). Covers the major theorists. I would recommend instead getting Miller's "Theories of Developmental Psychology."

This is the greatest book on the subject I have yet to read. I've read it straight through years ago, but I continue to use it to find theories, designs, and references of previous cognitive research. It's helped me write several lab reports. Fabulous book!
