| Summary |
"Our understanding of how humans process and interpret each other's actions has increased by leaps and bounds in the past decade. At the vanguard of these encouraging developments has been groundbreaking research in the fields of cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, and autism. Social Cognition: Development, Neuroscience and Autism is the first volume to fully integrate these areas of cutting-edge research on social cognition through contributions from some of the world's foremost experts in all three disciplines." "The text is edited by distinguished development specialists who preface each section with chapter by chapter summaries that seamlessly link each of the contributing essays. Sections include related chapters on perspectives on social cognition, social cognition during infancy, social cognition and the adult brain, and social cognition: the challenge of autism. The text's final section serves as a commentary highlighting the fundamental issues that have been addressed in the text. Social Cognition: Development, Neuroscience and Autism is an indispensable addition to the rapidly expanding field of social cognition - and will provide valuable new insights on how we think and learn."--BOOK JACKET |
| Notes |
"This edited volume stems from questions and issues that were explored by contributors of the European Science Foundation Exploratory Workshop on Person Perception, held in Leipzig, Germany, in June, 2005. Developmental advances were also presented at the European Developmental Psychology Conference, Dual-Symposium on Person Perception During Infancy in Tenerife in August, 2005."--ECIP summary |
