„The third edition of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience presents a thorough updating and enhancement of the classic text that introduced the rapidly expanding field of developmental cognitive neuroscience.“ (Breitbart. com: Business Wire, 22 February 2011)'Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience has become thebest advanced undergraduate textbook that lays out the agenda andapproach to this rapidly expanding field. In this updated thirdedition, I particularly like the emphasis on reconcilingbrain-based research with pure behavioural approaches and whystudents must appreciate the contribution of neuroscience tobuilding better models of cognitive development.'
-- Professor Bruce Hood, University of Bristol, UK
'The way in which genes and environment shape brainnetworks underlying human behavior is now among the most activeissues in science. This new edition of Developmental CognitiveNeuroscience provides a comprehensive approach to theory, dataand application to this issue and others within the perspectives ofCognitive and Social Neuroscience.'
--Michael I. Posner, Professor Emeritus, University ofOregon, US
'This book, which launched the field of developmentalcognitive neuroscience 13 years ago, shows no sign of aging. This up-to-date and newly revised volume eloquently captures thekey domains of the discipline and will prove essential reading toboth students and established scientists alike. Well-writtenand well-researched, this revised edition will serve as both aresource and inspiration for anyone interested in the intersectionof brain and cognitive development.'
--Professor Charles A. Nelson III, Harvard UniversityMedical School and Children's Hospital Boston, US
