Overview

"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 -Development of Antisocial Behaviors -The Family System -Schools"
