Review of Infants

Reviews the book, Infants by Robert B. McCall (1979). This book for parents briefly summarizes the last decade of psychological research on infancy. In a clear and readable style, it describes the major findings on newborn capabilities, as well as cognitive, language, and social development in the first two years. It deliberately avoids the how-to approach of most parenting manuals; rather than presenting advice, it attempts simply, to present information. Its coverage of research topics is quite comprehensive, without becoming tedious or overwhelming. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
