Summary:"Integrating cutting-edge research from multiple disciplines, this book provides a dynamic and holistic picture of the developing infant mind.

The volume probes the neural correlates of core sensory, perceptual, cognitive, emotional, and social capacities. It highlights the importance of early relationships, presenting compelling findings on how parent-infant interactions influence neural processing and brain maturation. Innovative research methods are discussed, including pplications of behavioral, hormonal, genetic, and brain imaging technologies."--Provided by publisher.
