"Young Children's Cognitive Development looks at the connections drawn between the development of theory of mind, the acquisition of verbal abilities, and the development of other critical functions such as executive function, working memory, and action control. This volume integrates findings from prominent researchers in areas of developmental psychology that are typically studied in isolation but can easily be related." "Young Children's Cognitive Development is appropriate for scholars, researchers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates studying developmental psychology and cognitive development."--BOOK JACKET.
