This textbook aims to provide a selective but representative review of workin cognitive development grouped around themes that are familiar fromtextbooks of adult cognition. The book focuses on the question of whatdevelops rather than on why it develops. The findings of a given experimentalstudy what develops are generally fixed but the interpretation of whatparticular findings mean why is fluid. Some of the experiments discussed inthis book have alternative explanations and every student interested inchildrens cognition is invited to develop their own ideas about what differentstudies mean. «
