Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 71, continues the tradition of this longstanding resource as an essential reference for researchers, scholars, and students in developmental psychology and related disciplines. This volume presents timely updates and fresh perspectives on key aspects of cognitive development, with particular emphasis on perceptual, memory, and reasoning processes across childhood.

Chapters in this release examine the development of infants’ sensitivity to dynamic visual information, strategic memory use across developmental stages, and children’s understanding of event possibility. Together, these contributions integrate experimental, theoretical, and developmental perspectives, enhancing understanding of the mechanisms that underlie children’s learning, cognition, and adaptive behavior. Contributions from an international panel of authors ensure that this volume reflects the current state of knowledge and emerging directions in the field of child development and behavior.
