This editor brings together a group of authoritative professionals who cover the gamut of this topic. Part I explores the origin of cognitive development, including topics of Theory of Mind, understanding of self, and memory development. Part II picks up with development in early childhood which expands on Theory of Mind, animate-inamate discrimination and cognitive development and pretend play. Childhood cognitive is explored in Part III where memory, deductive/inductive reasoning as well as moral reasoning is discussed. The foundation for academics as pertains to reading and understanding of mathematics completes this Part. The atypical aspects of cognitive development, including "disordered language" the Autism spectrum, are presented. Finally, Part V lays out various models of cognitive development for consideration, including Piaget's, Vygotsky's model of cognitive development, typical and atypical development and, finally, individual differences.

As stated, this was printed in 2002 but remains a great reference for basic information addressing the development of cognition.

The Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology [Hardcover]

Rating: (4 reviews)
Author: David M. Buss
ISBN : 9780471264033
Buy New from $88.99
The foundations of practice and the most recent discoveries in theintriguing newfield of evolutionary psychology

Why is the mind designed the way it is? How does input from the environment interact with the mind to produce behavior? By taking aim at such questions, the science of evolutionary psychology has emerged as a vibrant new discipline producing groundbreaking insights. In The Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology, leading contributors discuss the foundations of the field as well as recent discoveries currently shaping this burgeoning area of psychology.

Guided by an editorial board made up of such luminaries as Leda Cosmides, John Tooby, Don Symons, Steve Pinker, Martin Daly, Margo Wilson, and Helena Cronin, the text's chapters delve into a comprehensive range of topics, covering the full range of the discipline:

  • Foundations of evolutionary psychology
  • Survival
  • Mating
  • Parenting and kinship
  • Group living
  • Interfaces with traditional disciplines of evolutionary psychology
  • And interfaces across disciplines.
In addition to an in-depth survey of the theory and practice of evolutionary psychology, the text also features an enlightening discussion of this discipline in the context of the law, medicine, and culture. An Afterword by Richard Dawkins provides some final thoughts from the renowned writer and exponent of evolutionary theory. Designed to set the standard for handbooks in the field, The Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology is an indispensable reference tool for every evolutionary psychologist and student.

Author Index.


Subject Index.

This 1,000 page Handbook breaks down the emerging scientific field of evolutionary psychology into seven major parts:
I. Foundations of Evolutionary Psychology - 5 chapters
(conceptual foundations, life history theory, domain specificity, methods, controversies)

II. Survival- 3 chapters
(locating places, adaptations of predators and prey, adaptations to dangers from humans)

III. Mating - 6 chapters
(mating strategies, physical attractiveness, ovulation, female infidelity, sexual coercion, mate retention)

IV. Parenting and Kinship - 5 chapters
(cooperation and conflict, paternal investment, parent-offspring conflict, altruism, hormones)

V. Group Living - 7 chapters
(neurocognitive adaptations for social exchange, aggression, managing relationships, status hierarchies, language, cognitive bias, morality)

VI. Evolutionizing Traditional Disciplines of Psychology - 6 chapters
(cognitive, social, developmental, personality, biological, and mental health)

VII. Application of EP to Other Disciplines - 2 chapters
(literature, law).

These thirty-four chapters are written by recognized scholars in evolutionary psychology. The Forward, written by Steven Pinker, is both an eloquent description of traditional psychology's "laundry list of unrelated phenomena" and a compelling case that evolutionary psychology will ultimately prove to be the missing link (pun intended) for integrating all of psychology.

As a Handbook, this book is of course not intended to be a first-to-last page read but as a current (as of 2005) description of what is known (and yet-to-be known) in the above sub-disciplines of EP. It meets this goal admirably.
