Description

Executive Function in Childhood: Development, Individual Differences, and Real-Life Importance examines executive function during infancy and early childhood through the lenses of developmental psychology, neuropsychology, and educational psychology. Co-authored by three experts in the field, this concise book is aimed at early undergraduate students and, as well as providing an up-to-date overview of executive function, illustrates a range of core concepts around psychological assessment of infants and children, including neuroimaging. The text is accessible for students with limited prior knowledge, and will enable them to acquire more in-depth understanding from literature in the field.

Reviews
Executive functions are critical for all aspects of development, success in school and in life, and good mental and physical health. Given how important executive functions skills are, this book which explains what executive functions are, how they develop, social and emotional influences on, and consequences of, executive functions, and how executive functions look in atypical populations could not be more timely. * Professor Adele Diamond, PhD, FRSC, FAPA, FAPS, FSEP, Canada Research Chair Professor of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, University of British Columbia *
Executive Function in Childhood is a phenomenal, succinct, approachable overview of executive function and its development. Including up-to-date research and practical considerations, this book is a great resource for teaching and learning the basics of executive function and why we should care about it. * Andrew Ribner, University of Pittsburgh *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
