Developmental Psychology: Dynamical Systems and Behavior Analysis
Product Description
This book breaks new ground by integrating dynamical systems concepts with a contextual behavioral view of development. The two make a dramatically good fit and something new emerges from the combination: a “behavioral systems approach” to development. With its consistent, natural science, non-linear, contextual orientation, Novak has fashioned an undergraduate text that will have broad appeal for courses in developmental psychology.
Topics include:
-Modern Developmental Theory
-Behavioral Genetics
-Prenatal Development
-The Remarkable Newborn
-Habituation & Respondent Learning
-Operant Learning
-Cognitive Development
-The Development of Communication
-Personality and the Self
-Prosocial Development
