Overview

Lifespan Development provides an introduction to developmental science that focuses on applications and research. This thorough overview of the discipline is geared toward helping you apply your understanding of development to your own life. Authors Denise Boyd and Helen Bee emphasize how concepts connect to research. Combined with their down-to-earth writing style, this approach helps make abstract theoretical material understandable.

The 8th Edition offers the latest research plus updated coverage of topics such as cross-ethnic friendships and unemployment and depression. Other fresh topics include the connections between prenatal exposure to maternal stress and children's social reasoning skills, and executive control development and the transition to school.
