Summary

"This book offers a contemporary review, methodologically and theoretically, of some basic issues in early human brain-behaviour development. It presents updated reviews of the state of the art in research on a number of core issues in developmental biopsychology written by distinguished scientists. The focus is on the biological basis of early functional development in the human, in particular with respect to state organisation, motor control, perception of sound and speech visual attention and social interaction. The volume can be seen as a key reference for researchers in developmental neuropsychology and developmental biopsychology neuropaediatrics, biology etc., and for interested scientists in these and related fields."--Jacket.
