Discusses temperament, cognitive development, and consciousness, and suggests new research techniques for studying child development.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
In this work, Jerome Kagan demonstrates that innovative research methods in the behavioural sciences and neurobiology, together with a renewed commitment to rigorous empiricism, are transforming our understanding of human behaviour. Kagan argues that behavioural scientists have reached less-than-satisfactory answers to the fundamental questions about temperament, cognition and the self because they have failed to appreciate the biases inherent in their frame of reference and the limitations of their investigative procedures.
Jerome Kagan is Daniel and Amy Starch Professor of Psychology at Harvard University.

No longer 'As New', but remains a very handsome copy. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 318pp. Hardback with DJ. The title refers to the problem of imprecise meaning in the use of scientific language for such terms as temperament, cognition, and self. Kagan (psychology, Harvard) makes a plea for more rigorous and innovative methods and a more powerful vocabulary in child development research, where the interaction of biological, psychological, and contextual features is more finely differentiated. Advocating "an acceptance of the notion that meanings change with time and are always influenced by the procedure that produced the relevant evidence," he insists that researchers should periodically retest their stock of evidence for any particular concept of the essence of human nature. He then goes on to offer his own reconceptualizations of crucial concepts. For specialists in the field. N° de réf. du vendeur 40751
