| Summary |
"Each of the chapters in this volume examines a unique aspect of the interplay between children's cognitive development and their social interactions. The book is organized into four thematic sections, each introduced by an integrative overview. The first section, Language and Cognition, examines the function of language in young children's lives. The second section, Intentionality and Communication, explores young children's understanding of intentions and their verbal and non-verbal communication. The third section, Theory of Mind and Pedagogy, examines the ways in which developments in cognitive and communicative skills transform children's participation in the process of teaching and learning. The final section, Narrative and Autobiographical Memory, looks at the effects of narrative on young children's understanding of themselves and their world."--Jacket |
