First published in 1946, and now in its Seventh Edition, the \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e has long been considered the definitive guide to the field of developmental science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVolume 2: Cognitive Processes\u003c\/i\u003e describes cognitive development as a relational phenomenon that can be studied only as part of a larger whole of the person and context relational system that sustains it. In this volume, specific domains of cognitive development are contextualized with respect to biological processes and sociocultural contexts. Furthermore, key themes and issues (e.g., the importance of symbolic systems and social understanding) are threaded across multiple chapters, although every each chapter is focused on a different domain within cognitive development. Thus, both within and across chapters, the complexity and interconnectivity of cognitive development are well illuminated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn about the inextricable intertwining of perceptual development, motor development, emotional development, and brain development\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand the complexity of cognitive development without misleading simplification, reducing cognitive development to its biological substrates, or viewing it as a passive socialization process\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscover how each portion of the developmental process contributes to subsequent cognitive development\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamine the multiple processes – such as categorizing, reasoning, thinking, decision making and judgment – that comprise cognition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe scholarship within this volume and, as well, across the four volumes of this edition, illustrate that developmental science is in the midst of a very exciting period. There is a paradigm shift that involves increasingly greater understanding of how to describe, explain, and optimize the course of human life for diverse individuals living within diverse contexts. This \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive reference for educators, policy-makers, researchers, students, and practitioners in human development, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and neuroscience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword to the Handbook of Child Psychology and Developmental Science, Seventh Edition v\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume 2 Preface xxi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors xxiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 REFLECTIONS ON COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLynn S.
