Over the past few decades, innovative, noninvasive techniques for studying the activity of the brain have provided new insights into brainbehavior relations. Now, developmental scientists are using these techniques with young infants and children to shed light on the neural underpinnings of the developmental process. This highly enlightening text brings together a group of worldrenowned scientists who believe, and demonstrate, that understanding brainbehavior relations from a developmental standpoint will yield fresh and unique insights into human nature.This volumeone of a limited number of texts that provide a voice for a growing new generation of developmentalists interested in the brainis distinguished by its breadth of topics, which include the development of memory, cognition, and emotions, and individual differences in these domains.The editors have divided the book into four sections. Section I provides a historical review and broad theoretical framework for considering brainbehavior relations from a developmental perspective. The role of electrophysiology (EEG) in developmental research is also examined. Chapters in Section II focus on developmental changes in the brain, as indexed by changes in synaptic connections, glucose metabolism, and EEG power and coherence. Using changes in neural activity as indicators of important developmental transitions, a biological perspective on human psychological development is offered.Section III addresses concepts of developing brain behavior relations. Neural correlates of developmental processes pertaining to memory, emotional expression and emotion regulation, spatial representation, and language are discussed.Finally, Section IV examines brain activity as a predictor of individual differences in behavior. Authors explore the use of electrophysiological measures in early infancy to explain individual differences in temperament, affective style, language, and attentional abilities.While accessible to those with little background in the neurosciences, this book adequately portrays the complexity and depth of brainbehavior relations in development. An important resource for investigators in the fields of developmental psychology, neuropsychology, behavioral neuroscience, clinical psychology, and education, it also serves as a textbook for graduate students, especially advanced students of human psychological development.
