Psicología evolutiva. 2, Desarrollo cognitivo y social del niño


Book Description

Si bien los trabajos sobre el desarrollo infantil centraron en un principio la atención de los investigadores de este campo disciplinario, la Psicología Evolutiva se ocupa actualmente de los procesos de cambio de las personas a lo largo de todo su ciclo vital. En consonancia con ese ambicioso enfoque, la presente compilación -dividida en tres volúmenes, ofrece un completo panorama de esta vasta área de estudios, que cubre desde la primera infancia hasta la senectud. Mientras los dos primeros volúmenes se ocupan de las teorías y los métodos y del desarrollo cognitivo, afectivo y social del niño, el tomo que cierra la serie examina el período que transcurre desde la adolescencia hasta la senectud y atraviesa la vida adulta.
