ISBN 10: 0521821061 / ISBN 13: 9780521821063

Edité par Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2007

Hardcover. Until now, individuals interested in measuring biological signals non-invasively from typically developing children had few places to turn to find an overview of theory, methods, measures, and applications related to psychophysiology recordings in children. This volume briefly surveys the primary methods of psychophysiology that have been applied to developmental psychology research, what they have accomplished, and where the future lies. It outlines the practical issues that active developmental psychophysiology laboratories encounter and some solutions to deal with them. Developmental psychophysiology holds the key to forming the interface between structure and function necessary for the growth of developmental psychology. A valuable resource outlining the theory, methods, measures, and applications related to psychophysiology. Schmidt and Segalowitz set their text apart from others by focusing exclusively on issues pertaining to children. Written for researchers and students working in developmental and child psychology, cognition, neurosciences, psychiatry and pediatric medicine. This item is printed on demand.

He is a Core Member of the Offord Centre for Child Studies, Division of Child Psychiatry at McMaster Children's Hospital. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, College Park. His research interests are developmental psychophysiology, human social and affective neuroscience, and the use of EEG/ERP to understand individual differences in temperament and affective responses to normal and special populations.

Sidney J. Segalowitz is a professor of psychology at Brock University, editor of Brain and Cognition, and Director of the Brock Institute for Electrophysiological Research. He received his Ph.D. from Cornell University, and currently his research interests include developmental electrophysiology and psychophysiology as they inform us about changes in cognitive and affective processing across the lifespan, and the uses of electrophysiology to further our understanding of information processing in the brain.
