Perceptual Development: Visual, Auditory, and Speech Perception in Infancy: Psychology Revivals

Editat de Alan Slater
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 mar 2026
In order for infants to make sense of the world they have to perceive it, and research into the development of sensory and perceptual abilities is one of the most exciting and important areas of infancy research.
Originally published in 1998, the aim of this book was both to reflect current knowledge of perceptual development and to point to some of the many questions that remained unanswered at the time. The study of perceptual development is now a sophisticated science. The majority of the chapters tell a fascinating detective story: the way in which infants perceive and understand the world as they develop. Each of the major sections is prefaced by introductory comments, and the book will still be useful for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, and other professionals who have an interest in early perceptual development and in infancy in general.

Recenzii

Reviews for the original edition:
“This edited collection is just what was needed, both for the advanced student and for the mature researchers. The authors are leading researchers in their fields, and together they present a rich source of authoritative and up-to-date information on infant perception which will be enormously useful both to those entering the field of infancy as researchers, and to those who already work in the field but wish to bring themselves up-to-date on research topics outside their speciality … I look forward to having my own copy of the book: it will certainly be on my essential reading list.” – Gavin Bremner, University of Lancaster, UK
“In just over thirty years of study, infancy research has moved out of its own infancy and into the maturity of a sophisticated psychological science with scientists attacking scientific questions from the philosophical, to the methodological, to the descriptive, to the explanatory. This book is one tribute to developmental psychology in general, and a special tribute to progress which has been made in a special field, infant perception.” – Marc Bornstein, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, USA
