Caracteristici noi

  • Research and citations have been updated throughout.
  • Expansion of the chapter on ethology, reflecting the author's growing conviction that the study of animal behavior casts considerable light on human development.
  • Several chapters give greater attention to children’s play.  At a time when education policymakers are so willing to sacrifice children’s free, creative play for the sake of higher test scores, it’s important to see how the great developmental theorists recognized the value of play.  In addition, the chapter on Vygotsky adds a description of the popular, play-oriented Tools of the Mind education program, and the chapter on ethology concludes with a discussion of the question, “Is the young child’s urge to play innate?” 
  • Knowing that students want to discuss moral and philosophical issues as fully as possible, the 6th edition includes Kohlberg’s speculations about the possibility of a seventh stage of spiritual development.
