Language, Memory, and Cognition in Infancy and Early Childhood

Language, cognition, and memory are traditionally studied together prior to a researcher specializing in any one area.  They are studied together initially because much of the development of one can affect the development of the others.   Most books available now either tend to be extremely broad in the areas of all infant development including physical and social development, or specialize in cognitive development, language acquisition, or memory.  Rarely do you find all three together, despite the fact that they all relate to each other.

The Developing Child : Children Solving ProblemsThe Developing Child : Children Solving Problems

In this short, clearly written book, Thornton synthesizes literature in post-Piagetian research to consider the development of children's problem solving capacities. She suggests that there are multiple variables that contribute to the ease with which children solve problems and the sophistication of the strategies they employ. (Harvard Educational Review )
