About the Author :
Mark H. Johnson is Director of the Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development at Birkbeck College, University of London, and an MRC Senior Research Scientist. He has published over one hundred scholarly articles and four books on brain and cognitive development, including Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience: An Introduction (1997). He is also on the editorial board of several developmental journals and book series. Yuko Munakata is currently an Assistant Professor in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Denver. Her interests include memory development, dissociations in behavior during development and following brain damage, and neural network models of cognitive development. Rick O. Gilmore is Assistant Professor of Psychology at Pennsylvania State University. His research focuses on the development of spatial perception and memory in infancy and their relationship to brain development.

Review :
"For child language researchers who wish to gain some background knowledge in this field, we reccommend this volume highly. This text is suitable for academics and students alike. It is an excellent source, and the associated teaching resources available on-line are well constructed and highly useful... The clarity and coherence of the overall argumements contained in the volume make the book a worthwhile component of any developmentalist's library." Vincent Reid & Tricia Striano, Cultural Ontogeny Group, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
