'Developmental Psychology: A Student's Handbook'is a major new textbook that provides an up-to-date account of theory and research in the rapidly-changing field of child development. Margaret Harris and George Butterworth have produced an outstanding volume that includes recent research from the USA and Europe. The text is designed for undergraduate students who have little or no prior knowledge of developmental psychology. Key features include specially designed textbook features, such as key term definitions, chapter summaries, and annotated further reading sections. The text contains over 95 figures and tables, to illustrate principles described in the text., as well as additional boxed material, to add further insight and aid understanding and a clear, user-friendly layout, to make topics easy to locate. The book places developmental psychology in its historical context, tracing the emergence of the field as an independent discipline at the end of the 19th century, and following the radical changes that have occurred in our understanding of children's development since then. The development of the child is covered in sequence: through conception, pre-natal development, birth, infancy, and the pre-school years, to the achievements of the school years, and the changes that occur during adolescence. Each period is addressed in terms of cognitive, social, and linguistic development, including discussion of reading, spelling, and mathematical development. There is also consideration of comparative research concerning the development of cognitive abilities in other primates. 'Developmental Psychology: A Student's Handbook' is essential reading for all undergraduate students of developmental psychology. It will also be of interest to those in education and healthcare studying child development.

La naissance du langage dans les deux premières années est un essai de théorisation de ce que nous « disent » les bébés dans leur vie de tous les jours, en souriant, en demandant, en s'étonnant, en gazouillant, en pointant, en dialoguant ou en commentant en solitaire. Ils essaient ainsi de nous donner les clés de leur cheminement dans l'élaboration de l'affect, dans la construction de la pensée et dans l'acquisition du verbe. À la croisée de la linguistique, de la psychanalyse, de la psychologie cognitive et de l'étude du développement du langage, cet ouvrage pourra éclairer tous ceux — professionnels de l'enfance, enseignants, parents — qui veulent comprendre et aider un enfant en quête (ou en conquête) de sa propre parole.

"Empirical studies of the relationship between school inputs and test scores typically do not account for the fact that households will respond to changes in school inputs. We present a dynamic household optimization model relating test scores to school and household inputs, and test its predictions in two very different low-income country settings - Zambia and India. We measure household spending changes and student test score gains in response to unanticipated as well as anticipated changes in school funding. Consistent with the optimization model, we find in both settings that households offset anticipated grants more than unanticipated grants. We also find that unanticipated school grants lead to significant improvements in student test scores but anticipated grants have no impact on test scores. Our results suggest that naive estimates of public education spending on learning outcomes that do not account for optimal household responses are likely to be considerably biased if used to estimate parameters of an education production function"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site.
