Lawrence Balter is Professor Emeritus at New York University where he taught developmental psychology, child psychopathology, and diagnostic psychological assessment. Balter created study abroad initiatives in developmental psychology at the Piaget Archives at the University of Geneva, NYU in Prague, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. He is a recipient of a Professor of the Year award at NYU. Balter is an internationally renowned parenting expert who has appeared regularly in the electronic media, has published books for parents and children, and was a columnist for numerous trade magazines. He received the Distinguished Lifetime Contribution award from APA’s Division of Media Psychology. He serves on the Advisory Board of The Future of Children, a joint publication of Princeton University and the Brookings Institution and is a Consulting Editor at NAEYC's Young Children.
Catherine S. Tamis-LeMonda is Professor of Developmental Psychology at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. She studies intersections among children’s emerging skills in language, communication, motor and social domains across the first years of life. Her research is focused on the socio- cultural contexts of early development, especially the ways that infant-parent language interactions and everyday parenting practices affect children’s developmental trajectories across cultural communities within the U.S. and internationally.
"This third edition of Child Psychology, edited by Steinhardt
professor emeritus Lawrence Balter and Steinhardt professor
Catherine Tamis-LaMonda, continues the tradition of showcasing
cutting-edge research in the field of developmental science,
including individual differences, dynamic systems and processes,
and contexts of development."- NYU Research Digest'The field of
child development is so fast moving that this third—and very much
revised—edition of this well-regarded volume is most welcome. The
scholars contributing chapters are top notch and the organization
of the volume makes it easily accessible to those especially
interested in particular developmental periods (infancy, childhood,
adolescence). By covering specific topics within these periods, a
reader can follow the developmental course of subjects like
learning, cognition, and social and emotional development. The
section on ecological influences is especially significant, calling
attention to topics like the family, the neighborhood, and
ethnic/racial variation across developmental epochs. I recommend
this book highly to those interested in child development in the
modern world.' – Jay Belsky, Robert M. and Natalie Reid Dorn
Professor, University of California, Davis'What criteria does one
seek in an advanced developmental volume? Presumably, breadth,
depth, accuracy, and contemporaneity: breadth to cover the range of
issues with which child psychology is concerned, depth to bring
home to the reader the complexities underpinning those issues,
accuracy in display of technical quality, and contemporaneity to
convey a sense of present-day excitement about the science.
Normally, these criteria are very difficult to achieve between one
set of covers. Here, Balter and Tamis-LeMonda have designed a book
with the apposite breadth, and recruited talented scholars to plumb
the depths of significant issues in the field with scientific rigor
and a distinctive "in the moment" feeling. That the editors have
steered their contributors to readability and comprehensibility
beyond those four criteria is a value-added achievement in this
third edition of Child Psychology—their own crowning contribution
to advancing developmental science.' – Marc H. Bornstein, Editor,
Parenting: Science and Practice'Transformative change in science
requires transformational change in how scientists conceptualize
natural and built environments. This third edition of Child
Psychology continues the editors’ journey to effect such change. A
new cast of authors contribute to a volume that gives reality to
the adage that "three is a charm." Through persistent and expanded
attention to individual differences and context effects on
developmental process, to change stimulated by systemic
organization and reorganization, and to methodological innovations
inclusive of broader views of epistemology, the editors and authors
challenge readers to join the quest to truly understand human
development from infancy through adolescence.' – Hiram E.
Fitzgerald, University Distinguished Professor, Michigan State
University'Written by some of the most prominent researchers, this
book offers rich, comprehensive, and up-to-date coverage of the key
themes in cognitive, emotional, and social development from infancy
to adolescence. It is highly recommended as a valuable resource for
developmental psychologists, scholars, and graduate students.' –
Grazyna Kochanska, Stuit Professor of Developmental Psychology,
University of Iowa'This is the kind of anthology that inspired me
as a student, and continues to inspire me as a scientist. Child
Psychology is a compendium of state-of-the-art writings about
cutting-edge issues in developmental science, thoughtfully curated
to reflect central themes of the field, and filled with
contributions from leading scholars of developmental science.
Seasoned developmental researchers and their students will be
richly rewarded by this volume.' – Ross A. Thompson, Distinguished
Professor of Psychology, University of California, Davis
