This concise guide offers an accessible introduction to perceptual development and motor development from infancy to adolescence. It integrates insights from typical and atypical development to reveal fundamental aspects of human growth and development, and common developmental disorders.
The topic books in this series draw on international research in the field and are informed by biological, social and cultural perspectives, offering explanations of developmental phenomena with a focus on how children and adolescents at different ages actually think, feel and act. In this succinct volume, Stephen von Tetzchner covers key topics in perceptual development including: the theory of perceptual development, early and later development of vision, visual impairment, early perception of sound, the development of hearing throughout childhood and adolescence, the development of musical skills, hearing impairment, deafblindness, smell and taste. The section on motor development explores: theories of motor development, gross motor development, fine motor skills and atypical motor development.
Together with a companion website that offers topic-based quizzes, lecturer PowerPoint slides and sample essay questions, Typical and Atypical Child and Adolescent Development 3: Perceptual and Motor Development is an essential text for all students of developmental psychology, as well as those working in the fields of child development, developmental disabilities and special education.
