Official synopsis Publisher
“Takes a lifespan approach with much greater emphasis on adulthood and ‘old’ age than many other developmental books. This reflects the continual increase in this portion of the population in present day society. Uses one central model (the ‘challenge-risk’ model) throughout to tie all the different stages of the lifespan together, making this topic much less confusing for students. Introduces other theoretical models where appropriate to provide a balanced view of approaches to the subject. Includes world-wide research findings and examples. Considers developmental psychology as an interdisciplinary topic, looking at motor, cognitive and social skills together rather than as unrelated topics.” –Thomson.
