The Developing Person Through Childhood and Adolescence

Kathleen Berger’s acclaimed introduction to childhood and adolescence development weaves together classic and cutting-edge research, contemporary topics (especially neuroscience and culture), and relatable real stories and personal experiences. LaunchPad for the text offers additional ways to engage students, including Data Connections, which lets students explore the data behind high-impact research; and Developing Lives, an interactive online experience in which students “raise” a virtual child through adolescence.
