This multidisciplinary book synthesizes research on infant learning and development, with thematic coverage of neuroscience, cultural approaches, and policy. It provides cutting-edge methods and sets the agenda for future studies for advanced students, researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers interested in promoting infant development.

This handbook presents an integrative understanding of infant development, across neuroscience, context, and policy from leading experts.

'This is an outstanding volume on development across infancy and the wide-ranging mechanisms associated with patterns of developmental change. Each section contains the scaffolding for numerous specialized courses on early development. The quality of the Handbook means that it will influence programs of research across the globe.' Martha Ann Bell, Professor of Psychology, Virginia Tech
